It's strange to think of a prejudice working that way round. In the north of England (where I come from) everyone is brought up in brass bands and the usual combination is BBb/Eb. I'm not saying I agree with them, but I have heard conductors, teachers and even pro's say things about CC horns such as "well, they're OK for dixie", and one (well respected) player who described them as "an expensive alternative to a real tuba". Personally, when I'm being paid I usually like a decent sized Eb, but thats just me. I was just trying to understand an idea that seems a little foreign to me. Sorry if I brought up a rather over worn thread.

James.
