Why??? I don't really care about specific models, what I'm really interested in is a discussion about why people think CC's are better all-around tubas than Eb's or F's. I've heard that in Germany they use their F's as their main horns and pick up their BBb's when they need more bass/depth/power/whatever. Why don't more Americans take this approach? Why sacrifice clarity and ease of playing by getting a small CC rather than a large F? The $6500 was merely a figure I chose that would force someone in that situation to make this decision. Change it to $8000 if you'd like, or $4000, but I'm mainly concerned as to why more people don't use their smaller tuba as their main horn and their contrabass as their auxiliary rather than the other way around.

Why didn't I phrase my question this way the first time?
