Well said!! Having done a few bid proposals and purchasing of instruments, the key is to get the best instrument for the best price to meet the band's needs. If I have $X amount of money to deal with and need to buy several instruments including a tuba, I'm going to do all the research I can on all the instuments I need to buy, not just the tuba. I'll ask other directors, go to conventions, even call the manufacturer. If a Selmer oboe will work and the price is right, I'll get it over a Fox oboe. If I can buy two Weril 4v euphoniums and two Weril 980 tubas for the same price as one Yamaha 321 and one Miraphone 186, I'll do it in a heartbeat.
