David,

I will have to agree with Roger. The EEb contras (Selmers) are much more =
agile than the BBb contras. The only problem is that the EEb does not =
have the downward compass of the BBb. BBb contras are very finicky and =
can go out of adjustment with minor mishandling.

If you do decide to purchase a BBb be certain to buy one with a low C. I =
also recommend the Leblanc over the Selmer. The price difference is =
dramatic and IMO the Selmers have some serious acoustical defects.
