Well, I got back to school, (earlier than most of the US) went through band class with a BBb (I couldent bring my new CC horn that day) only to discover after class that my school band director didnt want me playing my CC horn! He said he'd rather have me stick on the BBb horn, and keep the C at home to practice on. Please tell me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was kind of a dumb decision not to let me play on my 186. My school only has yamaha 4-valves, which are ok, but I think my horn is a little better. Can anyone name a great reason not to use a CC instead of a BBb in band. I've heard the about the intonation problems, but that isnt a problem on my horn. Also, any arguments for why CC's are good for using in band. Thanks
