Right, now I've got the beast, what kind of tone should I go for?
Bright and reedy? Or full, dark and round?
I'm taken by both, though feel the fuller, darker and rounder tone (with a shade of reediness) is probably the better to blend in with others - not that I have subjected anyone to my contra playing yet.
Has to be said it's a pretty easy instrument to get around, though not too easy to get around with - getting it through my front door and into my living room isn't easy with the length of the case catching on everything in front and behind it, and stairs that double back on themselves are interesting too.
But it fits perfectly in me motor.
