I had one for a short time. The open 3rd partial (bottom line of the bass clef staff) G is F-L-A-T and must be played 1-3.

Otherwise, you can peel paint with the sheer volume of sound that this tuba is capable of producing, and there really aren't too many other intonation problems other than that one HUGE ("Holton"-ish) one...

...not the most "delicate" tuba, however, when it comes to facility.

This "old" model 2155 bears no resemblance whatsoever to the later piston 2155. Of course, many of the later piston 2155's stunk almost as bad on that very same note.
