I think that now that this horn is out, you'll be hard pressed to do better for the money. This horn is an excellent BBb for under $4K. Best part for school kids are as follows: easy to blow because it has a medium size bore, excellent ergonomics, not bell heavy as the previous 2341UB, sits easily and comfortably in the lap, good response, great valves, and built very well. I always thought that the 2341UB was an excellent horn for school kids and a good BBb in general, but this is a great improvement on it. Go try one, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
