Below is a link to a Japanese tubist reviewing the Willson Merlin. Does anybody on the board speak Japanese? If so would you be willing to give a basic summary of the review? The only thing I can understand is "Oy!" after the first note when a sound more 5/4 than 4/4 leaps out of the bell.
Also, here's a link to the original video, where he tries out several tubas.

You may be able to use the google translate app on a phone to listen to the review (played on another device) and it will then spit out the English translation. It won’t be perfect but reasonably get the point across.
