A few weeks back when dropping off my bari at my tech's shop he showed me a Buffet-Powell that came in for repair. These are pretty rare horns and it's the first one I've ever seen in the flesh. The action felt pretty nice and the low C# was very easy to operate because of the way they angeled the rod. Unfortunately the horn was unplayable. Did I mention the TWO octave pips on the neck!
Pete did a nice write up at saxpics some years ago along with all of the pictures I wish I would have taken if I had time:
