St Pete EEb or BBb in quintet?
Is anybody out there playing a St Petersburg EEb 206 or BBb 202 in quintet? I have used a 202 before but may be purchasing a 206. Thanks

be sure to play an Eb before you buy. I played one at the Army band conference in DC and did not like it. On the other hand I really liked the BBbs.

I've only played them at conferences but I really like the St Pete Eb's- super low range, very consistent sound throughout, and it blows very easily (more like a piston horn than a rotary).
