The Markneukirchen makers offer a lot of different tubas, and they vary in characteristics a lot more than Miraphones do.

Miraphone tubas, from the smallest to the largest and whether still made or discontinued, seem to all have similar characteristics..."formula" tubas, if you will.

The pitch and response characteristics on the different sized and different keyed Markneukirchen tubas VMI/B&S/PT seem to vary a great deal more from model to model, and I will defer to others who have more experience playing all of the different products from that manufacturer. (The only tuba that I am currently using was made by that company, but it is just a scrawny 17-year-old dark brown F tuba.)
