Personally, I thought that the Conn 20-I had the best sound. Whether it was tenor tuba or not, I can not say. Just that I liked the Conn sample the best.
I agree that the Couesnon Bb Bass sounded the worst. It was thin, like the horn was not being filled up with air/sound or like it was leaking air from somewhere. It was a dog. The final instrument (Eb Alto Tuba) had some of that same, not "full" sound.
The Eb Contrabass Saxhorn was interesting. Although, those top notes sounded like you were really pinching to get them out. It didn't do them any favors, even though the rest sounded alright.
Thank you for letting us hear a sampling of your collection (smile). Maybe someday you will find the "perfect horn and mouthpiece" together.
