St Petersburg 206 EEb video?

[eupho]

Does anyone have any solo or quintet video of the St Pete 206 EEb? Nickel, Lacquer or lacquered gold brass. Thanks.

Don't have a vid, but I had a horn years back and did a quick not at all particularly good recording of a Bordogny Etude just so the buyer could hear the sound. Added a few pics of the horn and uploaded to youtube.

Believe it still exists. Can find you a link if interesting.
That was a raw brass/gold leadpipe

[eupho]

Yes, thanks. I would appeciate that.

Hi: Thanks for the youtube link. It was helpfull. was your 206 lacquered brass or the lacquered gold brass?

[Lectron]

It was actually raw brass, but the leadpipe was gold brass (high copper)
Laquered, it would look pretty much the same.

I'm pretty sure also there are more Bordogni 6 recordings on you tube (for comparing sound),
but remember that the sound is more about the player than the horn.

ok thanks, too bad it isn't still for sale.

[Lectron]

It was quite a fun horn
The recording is not very representative as I told you, done in a hurry, but you can hear the sound OK.

If you find one for a good price, I'd grab one. Rather that then one on the Chinese Ebs
...Unless miracles has happened to their valves

I have seen comparison videos and the Chinese piston EEbs sound good but the valves are very noisy.

[Lectron]

That is one thing
Even worse is allignement and threads on valve housing/caps.
