One of the most contraversial topics on this board is always the old BBb vs. CC thing, but the outcome always seems to be (as it was earlier on this month) that it is kind of self perpetuating - because a lot of pro's play CC at the moment, manufacturers make their best horns in CC. The thing that has always puzzled me is that if this is true, why do players cut BBb instruments to CC when the CC instruments are better in the first place. Is it just the price, is it for fun, or is there some deep musical reason? Do they actually play better in CC than they did in BBb? Don't the partials go out of tune when the taper is changed? Can you make a snorkel with the bits you cut off? :)
