Tim,

I am surprised to hear you feel that CC horns cut from BBflat stock
are generally mediocre CC tubas! I have a Bohm & Meinl which was cut
by Bob Rusk, he also added a 5th valve at the time. This horn is
really outstanding, and plays better than my teacher's "handmade" HB2.
IN FACT, most of the B&M tubas which were CC-made-at-the-factory had
some pretty quirky intonation probs. Not everyone is a cutter of Rusk's
caliber though....he earned his reputation for this work, and the use-ability
of every Rusk-cut horn I have played was stupendous
