I am considering purchasing a tuba, and everyone says that I should try different instruments to get a "feel" of them and to listen to the sound it produces when I play it. Custom and Dillon Music are too far for me, and I was wondering if there were any tuba players in my area who would be willing to get together and allow me to try their horn(s). I am looking particularly for either a MW-2145 or a Mirafone 188 5U, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't like to try any other horn. I play a Mirafone 186 5U (school horn)if you are interested in trying my horn. I live in Southern California (more specific-Glendale which is about 15 minutes or so from Los Angeles).
