They are fine for polka gigs. They play OK, intonation is fine, but the big, full sound you may be looking for isn't there. Fun to play and lightweight so easy to carry. Watch out though, the bell project to the side and you can wipe out someone if you're not careful. My is an older one made in the Czech Republic but I not certain if it was Cerveny or another company. Cerveny still makes them, I've play a BBb one, and while it was OK, I didn't feel it was that much better than the old one I have.
