My answer is neither. If you want a small horn for quartet work get a good Eb. I do not know what kind of Eb you presently own but there are many excellent horns out there now. Miraphone, Besson, Meinl Weston, Yamaha and Wilson all make excellent professional quality horns that play as well as any small BBb or CC. and if you already know the fingering patterns for Eb go with what you know. I personally use an Old Eb Boosey & Hawkes (similar to the Besson 982) for 90% of my playing which includes mostly brass quintet and tuba/euph quartet work. I also use it for a small pops orchestra. ken k
