Hello Jaysne
I bought a contra as a retirement present about five years ago. Since then I have played Beethoven 5 & 9, Brahms 1 & 4, Ravel Mother Goose, Dewi Sant by Karl Jenkins, Dvorak Serenade in D minor. I'm off to do Camina Burana by Carl Orff in a few weeks. Most of these have involved travelling. But considering I'm an oboist word soon gets around that you have a contra. So far I haven't messed up anything and have thoroughly enjoyed myself!
The biggest problem is carrying the instrument, instrument stand, music stand etc, but a folding trolley has helped. If you have the chance get a contra and a new life suddenly opens up!
