No Longer for Sale: Gnagey 6/4 BBb, BMB 764 6/4 BBb

Post by CLDmusic »

Update: The BMB has sold, and I'm keeping the Gnagey.


With a career change imminent, I am divesting. I need to part with at least one of the my BATs.

Both horns are easy on the intonation for me. I use a Sellmansberger Orchestral Grand on both with good effect.
(edit) Both horns have plastic hard cases. I also have a BMB gig bag that could go with either, depending on the buyer's desires and method of shipping.

Big Mouth Brass BAT BBb (764)
These are excellent values in horns. Gigantic round sound, more diffuse than the Gnagey, but I truly enjoy it. 4 pistons. A couple dents, but nothing of consequence to the playing of the horn, just cosmetics. $5500 plus shipping of buyer's choice.

Gnagey 6/4 BBb
Martin USN 1960 bell, King and Conn pistons. I don't know about the 5th rotor, but it's reliable. Raw brass with plenty of age shown, but no current major dents or issues. This horn has a huge sound, but with a great balance of projection for the size. Sort of like Fafner's big brother. $6500 plus shipping of buyer's choice.

The BMB J-764 is an amazing horn...I just wish I didn't have to sell mine. :(

You probably won't find a better playing huge BBb than that Gnagey. It might not win a beauty contest, but it is a great player!

wow - that Gnagey looks amazing. I didn't know my Fafner needed a big brother. :-)
If it did, this is certainly it.
