Unless you request a made to order BBb or the 5/4 rotor CC, you are NOT going to get a handmade instrument. They are machine made in a factory just as most tubas are. Does not being hand made make it a bad horn? No. Does being hand made make it a good horn? No. I don't think it really matters either way. A well made tuba is a well made tuba regardless of if a machine did the work or a person did the work. In my opinion, one of the worst tubas I have played was a MW 2000, the $10,000 version of the 2155 that is supposed to be hand made.
