Read carefully. I said smaller horns such as an Alex -- physically much smaller than a Conn BAT, as Rick points out. And BTW, I've owned (and loved) an Alex and played many miraphones, Conns, Kings and some Yorks. The Alexanders do sound bigger than they look, and they've got a great, inimitable sound. But, most of them are more difficult to play in tune than most of the big Conns.

I think Rick is saying much the same thing as I did about the change in fashion in the tuba world.

What I suspect is that you weren't around when the tastes in horns changed and you don't have a clue.
