I've never compared them side-by-side, but do you think the Willson is as big as an old Eb Monster Bass? One of those, with an upright bell and a modern valve assembly, might be pretty close to a 6/4 Eb tuba. Of course, it would still have all the intonation defects inherent in isntruments with so fast a taper--defects that are present in many 6/4 contrabasses unless they have had magic performed on them.
