RM 6/4 BBb at Baltimore Brass

Post by hrender »

I noticed they've dropped the price on the big Rudy at BBC. A new 5/4 goes for >$18K USD at Thomann.

I've played that one, and it is unlike anything out there. It's BIG, but it's not hard to play. When you settle into it, it makes plenty of sound without a ton of effort.

I played on it for a little bit last year. If I won the lottery that horn would be my first purchase. Absolutely outstanding horn. The shear size is also something to behold. Even larger then the lap sousas many have but was far more nimble then a first glance would give it credit for.
