Well it's about time!

I had an interesting chat with Roger Lewis and he's convinced the CC version is even more impressive. He's dubbed it the "Zen Tuba"....because you just think it and it happens.

I've posted before about the 1291BBb, both from hearing it played well by my betters and from playing it myself. It's an incredible horn. I'm amazed by how many colours and timbres a good player can produce with it...a WAY COOL tuba. Roger says the low notes just pop out of the CC version as if they were in the midrange. I thought, "that's odd", because that's how I would describe the 1291 BBb that I've played.

Anyway, I'm with you. The 1291 BBb is a real home run for Miraphone.

BTW, have you heard anything about their upcoming Eb, the "Norwegian Star"?
