I have a very unusual CC rotary tuba which you may find fits your current playing needs,
I bought it two years ago from a tuba student at the San Francisco Conservatory who
won his placement audition using it, so when I saw your note on tubenet I thought
I should post.
This horn is a German Sander CC 4-rotary, the same size as a Miraphone 186
but with a very dark, almost chocolatey sound. The main tuning slide is on top
by the left hand for easy reaching, and it has a very short leadpipe due to slant rotors.
It is not a pretty horn but it is fully functional and has a gorgeous playing characteristic to it.
I got it for outdoor playing and really enjoy being able to match with other players who use Miraphones in my section with some of the bands I played in in California. I have just moved for work to Colorado though so it is difficult to justify keeping additional horns that I am not using at my girlfriend's house in California, that's why I am selling.
If this sounds like something you might be interested in and you'd like to discuss,
please feel free to drop me an e-mail. Thanks for your time and good luck!
