Is anyone selling one of these?
If you have owned one in the past, what did you think of it?
If you sold it, why?
How did/does it compare to other Eb's out there?
NIRSCHL EEb

Yeah, I got one of those. It's set up like a EEb York of 1938 vintage. In fact it fits in the same gig bag as the York did. The scale is not "slotted" the way a Hirs is as in a Hirs CC or F. The Nirschl is a pretty good horn but not of the Hirs quality. Not many around. I've added very heavy lower valve caps to enhance the fundamental in the sound. Checked it with Spectrogram and the heavy valve caps helped. If you pounded on my head I'd maybe take $7-8K for it.
