...was won on a MW2000. Players using PT-6's have had lots of success recently, ie San Fran. I am sure there have to be several players who won jobs with 4/4 instruments over the years. Heck, if you want to go way back, Floyd Cooley won San Fran on an F tuba, a MW 45 to be exact!
Imagine if Arnold Jacobs never began using "the" York full time with great success, there would probably have never been the 6/4, BAT, Yorkaphone craze.
As an owner of a 6/4 and a 4/4 I can say that I am blessed with two great CC horns and would use either one in an audition depending on the situation and orchestra. There are several orchestras/conductors that prefer the lighter sounding horns.
