The VMI is a great if you can find a good great one. Like all tubas, there are good ones and bad ones. Some people say that there are far less Perantucci bad ones than VMI ones, personally I feel that they are the exact same horns (the VMI 6/4's and the Perantucci PT7) - try to go and test a few of 'em. And I also agree that most all professional tubists need to have a good BAT and a good not so quite BAT (F horn). And 3000 would be a great start on finding a nice F.

If I were to give you a real recommendation on the matter, I would take that 3000 you saved, have it cashed into one dollar bills, lay down on top of it, and take a picture..then ever-so-graciously send it to someone that has high priced tubas.

my $.10 (the extra .08 is because I wrote it and that makes it better)
