Re: Buescher BBb
My Muni band owns the recording bell version of this horn. We had a female tubist using it some 20 years ago and she really liked it. The conductor is a tubist and has used it for a few outside in the summer solos/duets with the band type numbers and I know he really liked it as well. Actually preferring it over his recording bell front action Martin Mammoth for those concerts. I never picked it up and played it so I can't add any personal opinion. I'm sure it's currently buried in one of the storage rooms of our performance center. I'll have to dig it out and try it for grins.

I used to own one - it was a very nice-playing horn, but the circle was so tight that I'd get cramps in my elbow and bicep from the angle my arm was at while playing it.KiltieTuba wrote:I've been thinking of buying those Eb helicons.

Really enjoy mine. 17" bell, tiny bore, most fun instrument I have ever owned.KiltieTuba wrote:I've been thinking of buying those Eb helicons.
One of the Ebay ones looks like the larger model. Never tried one, but hopefully it tunes better than the tuba equivalent.
