I know all the rage has been leaning toward Big A** Tubas lately but what do some of you guys use when you need a smaller CC horn for quintet and ensembles?

I'm running into a couple of issues:

1. - I feel like I am absolutely burying the rest of the members of the ensemble, especially when playing in small rooms.

2. - I'm not getting any younger and hauling around my horn is getting tough on the back. Not to mention I won't be going up against Gene Pokorny or Warren Deck any time soon.

3 - 98% of my playing is in quintets and small ensembles.

Has anyone lived with smaller horns like the Yamaha 3/4 horn or the Weril CC? What are your thoughts on these horns?
