The St.Pete BBb actually plays and sounds o.k., but just o.k.. The construction is even worse than a bad Cerveny. As said before, the metal is very soft/thin, the (nickel)plating is VERY thin, and you might have some major mechanical problems with the horn: valves, spit valve, thumbring, etc.

There are better options for a BBb in pretty much the same price range: New King, MW25, VMI/B&S/Schmidt rotary BBb.
