This is an interesting small BBb to me, with their King style valve cluster adapted to the compact Yamaha 103 type bugle (with an inch wider bell). I was just thinking about how to go about putting together something like this the other day, but it looks like Eastman did it already.


Has anyone tried one of these?

See above^^^

I tried it and liked it!!

(Didn't take a tuner to it though)

John Packer reportedly has a similar model but I have not seen nor tried it.
