I've played one. interesting horn. First of all, let me say it plays very well. tuning seems good, and the responce was very fast. The price was around $3000 with a case. those are the good parts, now for the bad.
The bell has a very small throat, and the sound is not what I would call "rich".
The metal is very thin, and there is hardly any bracing anywhere. this makes for a light horn, but I would be worried about how it would hold up.
Not a bad horn is somebody has to stand and play, although if you are looking just at price in a small BBb, I would look at the weril, and the even the cerveny CBB 683 (the BBb compact model). I like this much more than the Lidl.
