I too played a BBb Marzan in college. It was brand new (bought in 1969-70). Loved it. It was a 4 valved rotary full sized horn. Some of the interesting characteristics were string linkage, slanted valves and main tuning slide easily accessible by left hand while playing. The school had two and are still in use. While I never owned my own horn, I do still have my Marzan mouthpiece. This weekend I am playing a rather old beat up BBb Marzan 4 valved piston horn that I borrowed from a local school for the church orchestra.
