This was a one time experience but I was asked to test one that my high school was looking at and this was my opinion. It was absolutely just awful. I have never played a horn that was as stuffy. For a new player that does not get good air movement it would be a disaster. It was built pretty heavily and looked pretty but it took way too much air. I know they had some issues with the valves on the older ones. I would rather have a fiberglass 36k Conn. They play better. My .02
