I heard Gewandhaus when they toured the U.S. during the '78 - '79 academic year.
Their tuba player played Tchaik IV on a B&S F. When I heard what a so-so tuba player could "get by" with playing the "wrong" instrument, that's when I decided to buy a B&S F.
I recall superbly precise string playing on Mendelsohn's Italian Symphony.
