Thank you for your open and honest comments. I know "a few" professional players who prefer their BBb instruments, but are using CC because of "the trend". The CC goes into the closet after symphony rehearsal and the old Conn or whatever comes out for quintet, etc. I've played some really great feeling CC horns, but none that makes me want to toss the BBb away. I guess it really is a "feel" kind of thing (unless you have a conductor who "requires" you to play a CC). Heck, I have a BBb helicon that's over a hundred years old that I prefer to a bunch of the horns out there today (ever play a Jupiter?).
