Since ITEC has came and gone, I'd like to open this horn back up for discussion, because I couldn't make ITEC, and would love to hear feedback about the horn. I'm very interested in this for my next CC purchase, and I'd like to know how this horn compares to the other CC heavy hitters.
Thanks in advance,

Re: rotary Culbertson Neptune reintroduced?
Plus 0.995; mine plays consistently (if a tad high) with a slightly sharp 6th partial. And with a playing stand the ergonomics are just fine. No other 6/4 I have ever tried would get me to part with my Neptune.I have never tried a MRP-C, but it will have to be incredibly good to be better than a Neptune, with which I have never had intonation problems.
Gnagey CC, VMI Neptune 4098 CC, Mirafone 184-5U CC and 56 Bb, Besson 983 EEb and euphonium, King marching baritone, Alexander 163 BBb, Conn 71H/112H bass trombone, Olds Recording tenor trombone.
