Anybody selling one out there? I think I got the model number right. It's the little 4-valve BBb that I'm looking for.

I offered the other day to trade an F version of the 621 for the BBb version and got no response. I've never seen a used one advertised, here or elsewhere. I think those who have them must hold onto them.

As an alternative, I'm trying out a Cerveny 683 Arion ("piggy") courtesy of Dave Fedderly at Baltimore Brass. If it's a shorter horn you're looking for, this one's about the same height as a 621 but wider in the throat and across the body. After playing it on just one gig, I like it well as far as playing position, tone, and intonation go.
