This is wonderful. I want one SO bad!!!! (I got one of their original BC’s. Might try to sell it.).
Since everyone else seems to have too good taste to say it, I guess I’ll have to do it: he really seemed to like blowing that BBC.
Great stuff. Is it available somewhere in Germany? I can only find it on their swedish website:

Would be great to be able to buy at Thomann but they don’t stock it.
