Before I purchased my CC, I owned a 25J. I was not "intimidated by its size," even though I'm only 5'3 1/2". Like Dan, I performed solos on the beast. I played this horn at the 1999 International Tuba-Euphonium Workshop at the University of Oklahoma, and S.P. asked me to perform the Hindemith Sonata for the final concert that week on the Conn. It may not have been as easy a horn to fill as others, and its tonal quality is probably inappropriate for serious tuba solos. I wouldn't want to play the Penderecki Capriccio on a Conn 25J. But like Dan, "I still love the massive sound, though, and I couldn't resist a chance to post about it again."

I love my CC, but I'm sorry that I had to sell my 25J to afford the CC. The 25J was a fun horn to play under certain circumstances.
