I've played a couple of DePrins instruments, but not this particular model. In general, heavy construction, smallish bore and uncertain intonation. Both of the ones that I played were nickel-plated, not silver (this one also could be nickel-plated, if the color rendition of the photo is faithful).
This could be a decent instrument or a real disappointment--ask for a trial period before you bid on it.
And yes, it's a product of Belgium, not Bohemia.
