Just received my New Dillon Tuba yesterday. I was Pleasantly surprised how it was shipped, the short amount of time it took to find me on the West Coast, and the condition it was in upon arrival. I believe there are 2 kinds of (music) people, those who are musicians and someone who plays an instrument.
This horn is for both kinds of people. I needed a horn for house practice, something the neighbors can live with. The horn has a rich traditional BBb range and sound. Using the correct mouth-piece, it is easy/fun to play, The weight and balance made sitting at the dinner table easy to do, Plus, It looks good... I guess my PB and J sandwiches will have to take a back seat.
The horn also came with a very nice carrying case. I thought, I was going to have to buy something extra. The Dillon Music company attached a nice letter of introduction. I was given instructions on care, and future upgrades if needed, and point of contact for any kind of issues that may arise. I'm big on customer service, and after any sale, its how the customer is treated is a Biggie for me. I feel very comfortable with this purchase, overall cost, and the Dillon company, who stands behind their product.
Thank you .
