I recently had the opportunity to play a couple of Meinl CC's side-by-side. 2 really nice 2145's, a pretty good 2155, and a brand new MW2000. Let me just say that I've always been a big fan of the Meinl's, especially the F's. The CC's just never really sat well with me. All of the more standard Meinl CC's played very nice, but after just a couple of minutes on the 2000, and I was convinced. It's everything the 2155 should be, and just about everything a 4/4-5/4 CC should be. It played extremely even throughout, great intonation and response, and was very balanced and ergonomic. Bottom line--it just felt like a really great horn.

I will add that just 15 minutes later, I played on the most incredible 4/4 CC that I've ever played. I DID end up getting that horn.....and yes, it was a Hirsbrunner HB-2P. And one interesting sidenote on this....the Hirsbrunner was being sold by a gentleman who was buying the MW2000.
