Re: Baltimore Brass Co.: Rudolf Meinl 5/4 BBb
To go with the 5/4 CC or to replace the 5/4 CC?
It looks great, if I can I will!

To go with my CC, it's too much of a "white whale" for me to let it go.

I'm not a fan of RM, but (having owned all three sizes in C, and - after not too long - deciding that someone who loves them more than me should own them) they've all sold instantly. I probably should be looking towards those more seriously as flipping fodder.
old Alex tubas...?? too much time has passed, and too many awful things (that don't show up in pics) have likely been done to far too many of them...so I tend to steer clear.
