Kudos to the Conn 2J... it's phenomenal too!

Try oneofthe Kanstul 902 Serries. They have a 4 vavle and a 4v + 1 piston model, both in C. 16" bell. I love mine as it is a great americian made horn.

I play a Getzen G50 and with my experience the PT606 plays very similar. I would say that the PT606 plays a little easier in the middle and higher ranges. To me it felt smaller but still had some power behind it when needed. The Kanstul 902 also plays very similar. I would not recommend a ceverny piggy personally. I've never played on one that has ever left me "wowed". Although I know people who love them though so you might just have to try it

The "small CC" market is interesting, because a lot of people skip over small CC's and go straight for large F's.

Plenty on the Rudy 3/4 so far, but no mention of the Mirafone 185. Aren't they pretty close in size to one another? 185s are kind of hard to find these days, but then Rudy 3/4s aren't exactly crawling out of the woodwork either. I've played both - maybe the one was unusually good and the other unusually bad, but I'd have taken the 185 any day.

Everything about the 185 looks promising... I've just never had a chance to try one (and no one I've met has either). Love to, though!

+1 on bigger sound. Obviously I preferred my 184 or I wouldn't have kept it for 38 years (and counting). But Bruce's 185 is plenty fine, notwithstanding.

Speaking of Small CCs... I just got the Canadian Brass Newsletter, and it appears Conn-Selmer has aquired and reconditioned a 3J for Chuck. I'm almost certain that means it will never be in production.

Well shoot...there goes my plan for owning the latest CB tuba.... unless I go find and recondition a 3J....

After finally playing one for the first time, I must vote for the Rudy 3/4CC.
Great sound but, too bad: it was not for sale ...

Anyone selling one of these currently?
