The first tuba I owned was a four-valve 186 CC. I loved it.

The Dillon website says it's out of stock. Did someone grab it already?

I didn’t realize they sold an S version of the CC.

Anyone who’s disappointed they missed this might enjoy my Scherzer 4V CC; about the same size and plays beautifully 😀.

The bell looks like it’s been smushed and re-straightened. Am I right?

Yep, looks like it.

@Tubajug, you're right—it sure didn't last long.
