The problem is, I have both so when I go to a gig I have to decide BBb vs CC, one is sliver one is lacquer, one is piston one is rotary. I also have an Eb and an F both handmade, one I had to tweak for a student of mine, it has no dents, only dings that have no effect on the way it plays, he played it for TubaChristmas which was quite cryogenic here in Alaska. Many interesting horns though, the Besson I C'd was in the Gnome it was a heavy George Wall, a good looking CC for under $2000.
