Yes, I've played both the Bb and A. I purchased both through IMS at the
Texas ICA Fest, and brought the Bb home, because the "A" was in the States
illegally. The factory reps had to export all the samples they had brought
in. The A went back to Italy and was going to be shipped to IMS, then to
me. I subsequently changed my mind an cancelled the order. The A was
actually a better instrument than the Bb, in my recollection.
