Yes. The 601 is a very tall, large tuba.

I think the BBb is taller and more Kaiserish than the CC.

Ok, I'm just learning about Cervenys, actually I've got the Piglet right beside me in homeroom this morning. I have been busy with the 186 for awhile and need to practice getting some serious sound out of her before Tuba Christmas this Sunday.
