Oh, I forgot about those! The one I played was near about perfect in every way. Everyone else who tested it at the same time agreed.
However, they might as well not exist due to the price/rarity. . .

I've had a few. Right now, I LOVE my Baer, the 1966 Holton 345 BBb that I got from Ian Church.

OK, I guess I do have a favorite, and it would be a 1936 Martin 3-top-valve mammoth recording BBb. It will just about do anything musically, and handles pretty easily, too.

Eirik "the Viking" Gjerdevik. Yammie artist
I might be tall, but nowhere near Eirik
.
It's based on the "small" chicago york, isn't it?
Doesn't make it small, but smaller than some, especially if compared to larger BBbs

...Ive played a few Baers, but they don't do anything for me. There's no personality to them. The 6/4 Cerveny's project well, but they can be a little squirrely with intonation. I do love the old Yorkbrunners. My old teacher's is definitely a close second to my Conn, and third place has to be J.c.'s rotary King. I have a picture of both horns side by side and it's quite a sight! Could someone help me upload that??

F-I-F!
My favorite? I hope it will be the pt7 that I already own, but have not yet been able to play. Still a week or two until I get it back.
