Is the EBB623 a new Eastman model? I can't keep up with all their models?

What is this based on? And... is it any good?

The Eastman EBB623 is a professional-level 5/4 size "Germanic" style BBb tuba, frequently recognized as being heavily influenced by or similar in design to the Miraphone Model 91. It features 4 rotary valves, an 18-inch bell, and a .835-inch bore, designed for a large,, orchestral sound in a relatively compact wrap.

The EBB-623 has been around for some time but was overshadowed by the -562, then -825/825V.

If you liked the GR-51 better than the Miraphone 191, then the 562 or 825 would most likely be your preference. Ergonomics are quite different on each model.

Thanks, all! Yeah, it does have the weird proportions that the 191. Not really my bag. Thanks.
