When buying a tuba, what is the best way to get ahold of one? There are german shops that sell PT-6's for about $5,500 American dollars, but what would you really pay to have it brought to America in one piece? Additionally, are you guaranteed to have the same quality if you were to order from Custom Music? What is it about the horns in Germany that make it so much cheaper? Is it possible to order one directly from the factory, or cut the cost of a 10K tuba in any way? By the way-- How would a tuba with no laquer play? Would having a sheer brass instrument change the sound?
