I'm curious to see what you all think about this. I've spend a bit of time playing Mirafone 186 CC's and I like them. They're easy to play, the pitch is good and I like the sound I get out of them.

I haven't had the chance to play the Rudy Meinl 3/4 CC, but everything I've heard about them has been great.

So, from what I can tell, these two horns are pretty similar in size & style. Has anybody played them side by side, and if so, what are your specific reactions?

I'm sure that this post will bring up people raving about the all-supremacy of Rudy Meinl tubas and that Mirafones can never compare with their greatness, but please try to be more specific than that. I'm looking for things like comparisons in their response, projection, pitch, the size of the sound out front, dynamic control, that sort of thing.

Thanks!!
