Please help with info about the Yamaha ybb 102. It's supposed to be a 4/4 BBb horn and there's one available at a pretty low price should I want to buy it. I am still looking for a good horn to get back into playing with and still have very little budget.
Other low priced horns I've looked at are the Olds 3V BBb at Baltimore Brass for $650 and a Besson for sale here owned by Frank.
Opinions welcome: Out of these three would any be more or less suited to my goal and are there any definite reasons to stay away from any of them?
The horn doesn't have to look great, if it isn't too ugly that's a bonus. It has to play well and have fair intonation.
It's been 25 years, but I played from grade school through first year college before "real life" barged in and now I want to get back into it.
Thanks!
