That Marzan CC is basically a B&M 5520 right? Those are pretty sweet. One of the guys in my studio in college had a B&M 5520 in silver with an added 5th valve. It played soooooooooo nicely.

Yes it is!

I have that exact piston C marked Bohm & Meinl. I’d bet the BBb version is better in tune. Those are good horns that will make somebody very happy.

The photos of the CC are kind of deceiving, it makes it look like a much smaller tuba. The BBb photos show the full glory!

If that CC is the 5/4-ish sized tuba, that's a great deal

I would love to own this CC Marzan but that is not in the cards right now. Sooooo I would love to see it sold and someone out there in tuba land enjoying it. Here's a nice example of Stephanie Ycaza (UNC Greensboro) playing her B&M 5520 (basically this horn).

That BBb Marzan is the one I'm selling:

and it can be yours! Main reason I'm selling it is because I'm getting older, and it's not getting any lighter. Oh, and the gig bag is a Cronkhite.

I've been admiring it. I had one and do miss it. But I'm in the same aging boat as you!...
