The perfect community band horn is a Martin bell front BBb. It takes very little effort to make a big beautiful sound. And they posses extraodinarily good intonation! I'm not just saying that because I'm selling one at Dillonmusic.com for an extremely reasonable price. :) But I just played my other Martin BBb in a community band rehearsal Tues night and it was just what the doctor ordered!
thanks,
