Loving my 2145

[MikeMason]

First concert last nt with the new horn.death and transfiguration on program.horn did great.the more I play the more I like it.plenty loud for the group.super low range.i would venture to say that if you're not in a full time orchestra,the 2145 would be plenty of horn for you,in the right hands.i was thinking about getting an old/ugly kaiser Bb for the larger works,but that thought is now gone.the term "pocket rocket" keeps coming to mind...on my next post I'll tell you about my new hunter green/British tan leather cronkhite bag.sweet!

Congrats man! Aren't new toys fun? A buddy of mine in college had a 2145 when I had a 2165. I hate to say it, but I was jealous of the horn. It had all of the nice Meinl Weston sound/color and was a lot more nimble. Since I recently did a MASSIVE downsizing from a 2165 (different than in college) to my piggy, I'm having a blast.

Post pictures of the bag!!!! It sounds awesome. My piggy came with a very clean and awesome black Reunion Blues bag. They are awesome.

Is that a 'standard' 2145 you have, or one of the modified or 'tweaked' ones I read about on this board some times ?

I owned a 2145 back in 2005 with the small valve section. Great tuba, played real big with great projection.....wonderful all around horn!
