Upon inspection of this "Tenor Tuba", it looks very similar in branch and bow size to a common euphonium. The Mahillon looks a little bigger in those areas. The "Tuba" designation seems to stem from the Bell up with the front action rotory valves. While I would prefer to own one of these, especially in C, for euphonium stuff and Bydlo, I think that the Mahillon, if it lives up to its branches and bottom bow it would sound more tubaish.
