My brother has one and I really like it. I already love my F or I would get one. About the leadpipe, my brother had his lifted off the bell and moved to fit him, having that done is quite inexpensive and it fixed a lot of the problems of holding it. A good repair man will have you sit and hold it and sort of fit the tuba to you. The only thing that really bugged him about the horn is that the bottom bow is quite thin. (His is a laquered horn) and it dents very easily, I put a small dent in it with my thumb! I think the silver plated ones are a bit better in this reguard. Overall it is the best E-flat I have played.
