They and the American Brass Quintet are the most polished quintets I have heard on recordings.

Just can't get excited about bass bone in quintet. Call me a Neanderthal ...

Re: Center city brass in Alabama
I question that is was the 2250 F tuba because:
1) I saw them perform on Wednesday in Kansas City. He was using a MW3450.
2) Based on a quick google search of images of Center City he's only ever pictured with small CC tubas with that group.

Re: Center city brass in Alabama
I certainly follow your logic. I would guess as a mw artist he likely has access to several.the rep for the tour could also be playing a role.Many factors unknown to us. Badass of a player,nonetheless...

It doesn't matter what horn he plays. It's the lips.
