If you are still playing a Bb tuba why do you need a big Eb horn? Go with the 983, it will compliment your Bb tuba perfectly.

I have had a quick tootle on the "big" Willson and found it awkward to hold and handle. No doubting the quality of sound though. But just because it's big doesn't necessarily mean it is the tuba for a "single tuba" career.

Just listen to some of the English orchestras and you'll hear some absolutely monstrous Eb tuba sounds dwarfing the ensemble. The good ol' 981 & 982s!
