I play in a community band and have been using a Conn 97J BBb for everything. Recently I have started using a Conn 21J BBb for outdoors, and a Conn 20K (BBb sousaphone) for parades, even if sitting on a float, and a Henry Distin BBb for the occassional quintet work that I do. If the Distin had 4 valves I would probably use it for everything.

I have never run into a piece that I couldn't play on a BBb horn, but I am strictly an amateur and don't play any orchestral music, and rarely play solo pieces.
