F or CC?

I've never been to one of these tuba shindigs before.

Whatever you want! There's a pretty good mix of F, CC, and BBb tubas there every year, with a few Ebs for good measure.

Wow. That doesn’t help at all, but is a fun and encouraging answer!

How 'bout this: take something something light and compact.

I haven’t been to IET, but I have been to the Pokorny seminar twice. I brought a c tuba and borrowed an f tuba. I would bring whichever you want to work on more if you could only bring one.

If I only had one tuba, I would have felt frustrated playing some of the rep on the “wrong” tuba, or would have been stuck playing only certain rep.

Maybe you can find someone else going, come up with some agreement about one of you bringing cc and one bringing f and swapping throughout the week?

Either way, have fun, and learn tons!

The car is packed. The Eastman 632 CC is the choice. The new car is much smaller than my mini van. Barely brought any sheet music either. They’ll have to have some, or I’ll just have to make it all up...

Darn, I wanted you to bring your 291 so I could try it.
