My point, even though I didn't state it explicitly, is that we tend to forget about a musicians ability to control his/her horn. We let the horn control us. We think our BAT won't work in a quintet so we break out the F. We think our HB doesn't work for that opera job so we borrow a MW. We think we can't play Sousa marches on a CC so we go for the old Martin BBb.

We have way more control than we are willing to take responsibility for. In the right hands, or is that on the right lips, most any decent tuba will work in most any situation.
