I bought mine 2 yrs ago, used from Dillon's. It is an excellent horn with minimum intonation problems. It is a large 4/4 horn or possibly a small 5/4. For my taste, it was too big for a quintet. The other members thought is sounded OK.

On the other hand, in two orchestras and a concert band where I play regularly, this is the only horn to have. Easy to fill in the bottom with minimal effort. A great horn, I can't imagine EVER selling it.
