I have not played this horn much since I got it. A little to heavy for me and I have a Wessex BBb helicon that I like for jazz gigs... plus the recently acquired 184 has all my attention.
This 1961 Reynolds Contempora BBb recording bass really plays well. The high range has a great vibrant feel and tone and the low range has great depth. The trigger is well-designed and works well. Great player... I just have to many horns and age says downsize! The buyer was very happy!
