I stayed at the kanstul booth for about 3 hours off and on. Their grand tubas are immaculate. Their 4/4 CC is phenomenal as well.

They didn't have it put together, but I am going back on Sunday. I was unaware that it was a CC horn, I assumed it was an Eb/F. Now I HAVE to try it.

Just got home from the show again. I got a chance to play the Aero Tuba. It plays amazing, but because the bell is small and really close to your ear, it sounds a little off. From a distance the horn sounds normal though. It is the first of its kind and they said a BBb is next.

What the heck is an Aero Tuba?
