So I guess Perantoni and Tucci went their separate ways. I wonder if that’s super similar to the Mr. P 8.8.

Wessex Bombino with Kellyberg. I find the variety in this thread rather extraordinary- are there any "standard" setups?

Huh. Norwegian Star Eb and PT64 S. Fascinating we have pretty much the same piece on the same tuba.

On the B&S rotary Neptune (PT-7 rotary), I just switched from the Stofer Geib to the G&W MMVI "Baer" (Euroshank). Both work really well, as does a three -
piece "Blokepiece" that Joe put together for me. I could easily live with any of those three.

Schilke 67 on an early (1990ish) Willson EEb 3+1 and either a Denis Wick 2XL or Perantucci PT-50 (depending on how I feel or have remembered to pack..) on a B&S PT-20 CC.Have tried various but still keep coming back to the Schilke... yet to try a Blokepiece but that's on my "to do" list.

Bloke,
I never thought I'd say this, but I'd like you to enlarge on and explain what you're saying here about these CCs.
