If your student must have a BBb tuba then you/he should consider the VMI 3301. It is probably the best BBb tuba that I have played that cost under $6000-$7000 If you want to go toward the hi-end market then the Walter Nirchel BBb and the Hirsburrner BBb are prime.

You can get the VMI 3301 from the BrassWinds for $3995 without case and it DOES come in a 5 valve version (VMI 3302) for about $5100-5200 without case.

You can check out a picture of the VMI and Hirs by going to the respective home page links on the TubeNet's home page and you cad see the Nirchel by going to Custom Music's home page.
