I would be interested to know how much yours weighs, being cut to CC and only having four valves compared to my BBb Frankentuba.hrender wrote:Bill -- I have a 4/4 4v CC built by Sam. It's not especially light, however. I've been thinking about selling it for a while since I pretty much only play my BBb now. If you're interested in it, send me a PM.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving's probably not for you.

Re: If I Wanted...
Have you checked out the Big Mouth Brass J-834 and J-845? Both available as 4 valve or 5 valve, healthy bore size and bell diameter. Weight not given on web site. Just one more to add to the mix!

Re: If I Wanted...
Tim, I've been wanting to try the 3/4 BMB CC for years. I really like their other tubas. I still own an F. I finally got to try the 5 valve at TMEA this past Feb. Actually, I wasn't impressed with it. I would rather play my 621.

It's certainly not a looker, but there's a horn being sold at Baltimore Brass as a modified 4v CC York bugle with a Hirsbrunner valve section

I did see that horn on the BBC site. It might be a bit large. They say it has excellent response and a great sound. That might mean the intonation isn't too good (possibly).

Re: If I Wanted...
Thanks for the heads up. I already saw this. Besides, I just recently bought and quickly sold a 2J. I couldn't deal with the valve cluster angle. Thanks, though.

I had forgotten about this, but I just weighed mine using the bathroom scale method and mine is 22.4 pounds.hrender wrote:From stepping on the bathroom scale with and without the horn, I get a weight of 20.8 lbs.hrender wrote:I’ll get the weight of it and let you know.
