Hey
I've gotten to play on both 186 and St. Pete, and believe me, the one theing the St. Pete DOES NOT copy is a 186. The "feel" of the 186 is just so much better. Also, the St Pete is stubbier(?) and the valves are in a slightly different spot. For being .770 bore, my 186 is so much easier to play than a .828-.840 :-) bore St Pete. The knife like thiny on the bottom of the St Pete doesnt help either.
Hope that helps,
Doug
PS I saw one St Pete and i just simply touched it lightly and it made a dent. Gosh.
