But tubamakers apparently tend to build their best and most prestigeous models in C, and to some degree in F.
The incentive to choose F or Eb, Eb or CC, or CC or BBb is about the same as for choosing between 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, or 6/4 models within each of the four pitches:
Which instrument comes most close to your ideals? And which instrument is the best tool for fulfilling the musical tasks given to you?
All of course within your price bracket.
