Hey, I know those guys!

I believe it's an old York, if I'm remembering correctly.

It IS indeed a 3-valve York BBb....huge sucker that makes a fantastic sound. I've played it a few times...has that classic 'York' sound, pretty good intonation and really good false tones. Another member of that section has a Holton 345 that is the best I've played...what a sound!!

I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.
