In Reply to: Big Tuba Price Reasons? posted by Captain Small Horn on July 13, 2003 at 15:22:24:
Two reasons - both related to market share.
Ordinary tubists don't need BIG tubas. So, even if they are only slightly more expensive, they don't get bought...
Extra-ordinary tubists DO need big tubas. But, they will not settle for mediocre ones. So, they demand (and are willing to pay for) higher quality.
