I'm sure your a respectable musician, but certain ridiculous claims just can't go un-addressed.
[[There is nothing a CC won’t
do better than a Bb.]]
All I ask is that you produce documented proof of this. I'm a CC player myself, but use a BBb tuba in some situations because the BBb tuba happens to be better suited to that situation, AND I have access to the BBb tuba. If I didn't have access to it, I'd do everything on CC. If I didn't own a CC horn, I'd do everything on BBb.... and I DOUBT anyone listening to me would notice any difference.
I've been guilty of CC chauvinism myself in the past... CC chauvinism displayed by idiotic comments(ESPECIALLY when directed at someone who doesn't know any better, and might actually take you seriously) is really pretty tacky, though.
