I'm just curious what other C-mel players are playing with their horns.
I like my C-mel and I enjoy playing it, but I don't see it ever coming on stage for my normal sort of playing. I treat mine compared to my other horns the way a guitarist might treat an acoustic compared to AEs and electrics. It follows me around to a casual get-togethers (bonfires, parties, etc.) where I wouldn't bring my usual horns, and if I travel for any length of time it's probably coming along for that. I typically use it for impromptu bluesy jams with guitarists, and for practice when I don't want to be loud.
