Walter Nirschl 6/4 CC York Copy (of course, I'd get the original York, if we are taking no considerations at all)
Mirafone 186 4/4 CC with a York Monster Eb bell put on it and a few other modifications
Walter Nirschl Eb (it is my understanding that only one of these was ever made, but man, did it ever play!) (this being unavailable I would stick with my Perantucci Eb)
If we are talking just tubas the fourth would probably be a Fletcher model Besson Eb with the 3+1 set up, but if we are talking any horn at all, I think I'd get a Wilson 2900 euphonium
