agreed, Joe. On the Berlioz Requiem this weekend I used my big horns. Friday night the Holton was absolutely grand...but the Bohm was great this afternoon. And this on a piece where "most" folks said an F tuba was "proper."
Oh, a thought. If you want a CC tuba to feel like a familiar old pair of shoes to you, try keeping the same one around for a decadeor two (like your f) and use it...it'll get comfy!
