From many comments on this BBS I have the impression that in the US mainly CC tubas are preferred. In Germany we are more keen on the BB I would think. Can some of my collegues shed some light on the reasons? I have even heard of an American tubist having been sent away from a Bayreuth orchestra because of his CC. From BB to CC it is only a second. What makes the difference? I have never played a CC.
