This gallery features two BBb horns - a 190 and a 186. I'd guess the 190 is around 25 years old, and for the most part, it's a fairly miserable instrument. The sound's pretty good, but intonation (to be charitable) is "somewhat of a challenge". The 186 is fairly new, and is a fine example of that model. Right
up front, red-rot and all!!
