Sheesh Marty, my guess is that being anywhere near percussion or loud trumpets (or loud trombones, for that matter) would cause you a lot more problems than your own tuba would. I can't imagine that using a G-50 would make that big of a difference unless you were really honking on the thing. Then again, who am I to say? Good luck to you, and my motto these days is, "try before you buy".
