I have 1 at my school that I use for beginners. I like the compactness and ease of playing that the horn offers. When I first arrived at my current school, it was the only tuba in the inventory, and it was not able to keep up with 40 players in a high school band. We went with 2 of the 4 valve jupiters for the high school. I use the yamaha and a conn 5J for elementary and junior high.

I think the use of the horn for the small dixieland venue is a good defining point. Too band the 621 is so much more expensive. Because of the price, I am considering werils for the eventual replacement/addition for the junior high horns.
