It's my understanding that most professional orchestral tubists
in the WORLD are still using BBflat....and F. In the US, most
(we are told) use CC...and F. Remember there are a LOT of orchestras
in yurrop...no I don't mean the caliber of a Berlin Phillie, but
the yurrop scene as far as sheer numbers of orchestras is way way
different than here in the U.S. ---seems they don't get paid a lot
and often get crapped on severely by their managements. Of course here
we have unions and better "working conditions" - and orchestras
which file bankruptcy...BUT...I digress...
For me, there's as much difference between the playing charachteristics
of the CC's and the BBflats I've played as there is between F's and Eflats,
and honestly between CC's and F's...or BBflats and F's...or BBflats and Eflats...
f.w.i.w.
