Thought it was interesting...

Now that's cool. If only I had the bread.

But I'm also guessing it'll need some work, too.

Interesting that they list it as "Bb". I assume they really mean it - nothing else is listed that way, all BBb - so part of why it looks so comically fat is that it is fat, for a baritone horn.

Oh, nice catch. I thought it was just really tight wrapped.

Though those slides look too long for Bb tenor...maybe they got it wrong and it actually is an F? Then again BBC knows better.

I think that's a mistake and it's a BBb.
Those valve circuits are too long for anything else.

Cool looking horn!

You're probably right. Technically, there's no scale to go by - but if we assume an adult human is going to fit inside, a Bb baritone is probably out.
