What do you guys think the most solid tubas are? I am talking about the workmanship,
Hirsbrunner comes in mind, they are always built strong and last for a very long time.
How about Meinl Weston's? B&S Perantucci line and Rudolf Meinl's?
I think Alexander tend to be more slobby with solder..and they use very soft metal as well
, kind of like Cerveny weight wise.
Yamahas are well built instruments, too.
