I know the Miraphone Siegfried has been receiving very high praise for being a wonderful large Bb.
I'm curious, however, as to whether Miraphone had ever considered making a C equivalent of this horn like the way they made the Bruckner model as a C answer to the 191 Bb.
Thoughts?

Re: C equivalent to Miraphone Siegfried
I asked this question last time I was at the factory. In short they said they would look at it but have others projects to tackle first.

Re: C equivalent to Miraphone Siegfried
Were it me and I liked the BBb that much I would probably take it on its own terms. Often times that extra 2 feet of pipe that distinguishes the BBb from the CC is what gives it that awesome presence.
