This is a great, great F tuba. I have played on on a few different occasions and I'm very impressed with it. If I was going to purchase a piston valved F tuba, this would probably be the one. Size-wise, it falls between the Yamaha 822 and 621. I think it would work well for orchestral playing as well as solos. The pitch is good, and the low register response is very good. I found the tone very pleasing and more interesting than the Yamaha 621. It definitely has a brighter sound than the Yamaha 822. It sounds more characteristic of an F tuba than the Yamaha does. If I was looking for a mid-sized piston F tuba, the Gronitz would very likely be the one I would purchase.
