Now you have. I've played two that Dave Fedderly sold over the last couple of years. Both were clearly superior to most of big tubas I've had the chance to try out in my life.harold wrote:I stand by my earlier comment that I have never played a chopped York CC that plays as well as it did before it was cut.
There may be some out there, but I have never played one nor talked with anyone that has.
I didn't play them when they were BBb tubas, but I'll bet you a full Chinese feast they are better now. Before, they were battered school tubas with narrow bores and top-action valves, missing parts and with valve tubing that was kinked and ruined. Conversion to excellent grand orchestral tubas was a huge improvement, and the only thing that kept them from the scrap heap.
One reason my Holton was never cut is that it is too good as a BBb, and worth too much. It didn't make financial sense to turn it into a CC. The really good big BBb tubas in reasonable condition are worth too much as BBb tubas to be worth cutting. Only the otherwise unsalvageable instruments get cut, with only a few exceptions.
