When did Mr. Jacobs play one in the CSO?
Didn't he play a York?
The one Hirsbrunner copied?
Didn't the winner of the BSO play a Nirscl?
Wasn't Warren Deck playing a Nirschl?
Wasn't Floyd Cooley playing a Nirschl?
My point is, for nearly $35K or a BMW 330i worth of tubas, a STUDENT would be better served by trying out a lot of tubas and finding what works best for his chops and his wallet.
Furthermore, do some research on what the guys in Europe are using, that sould be interesting for you.
I'm glad you have the cash to spend on these horns.
Hopefully you can buy a smaller brush to paint with.
