1800usaband is the web address (and phone number) for Taylor Music in Aberdeen, SD. I have purchased a few instruments from them and have been happy with their service. Even so, I don't know who they have on staff who is knowledgeable about tubas. It is important when buying a tuba to have someone reputable try it out, if you absolutely can't try it yourself, to make sure that it plays alright. Even then, how it plays for someone else will not be the same as for you. You can call them and ask what they have in stock and if they will play test it for you. Better still would be to call Dillon Music or Baltimore Brass and ask what they have in stock of this model and how they play. With either of those stores you know you will be dealing with someone who knows tubas. The price will likely be about the same too.
