the term "BAT" was originally coined to connote Grand Orchestral CC tubas
like the CSO Yorks, and Hirsbrunner, Nirschl, Holton copies. Recently
it has de-volved to the point where it's applied (almost) to just about
ANY huge lump of brass. Suffice to say it no longer connotes a particular type
of horn, nor a particular type of sound-constant or require a particular approach to playing, just "big." oh well
