I got to play the 1291 BBb and CC prototype at Midwest.

I have played several 1291's' including 1st prototype, and several new ones both 4 ad 5 valve and the 1291 is a winner.

Great projection, great sound, smooth valves, easy to play, good intonation and the only issue I had with the 4 and 5 valve version is the finger buttons could be a little wider. The pistons are big. I just have skiny fingers and wider caps would make it easier to play. They can play loud or soft and it is very hard to make them break up on volume.

Both the 191 rotor and the 1291 are physically the same size and are very comparible. The 1291 is a great addition to the Miraphone line.

I also got to 1291 CC and it will just as good as the BBb. The BBb and CC 1291 Play big for 4/4 compact tubas.
