A couple of well-known players/tuba purchasers have told me that a round-trip plane ticket to Switzerland, ground transportation, hotel, meals, U.S. import duty on a new tuba, and shipping are cheaper than a phone call to Michigan, as far as purchasing as new Hirsbrunner tuba is concerned.
One might check on this theory to see if it is accurate.
