Pros:
great valves that never stick, no matter how long is goes unplayed, great for highschool or other intermidate players.
Cons:
Probably not the best trumpet out there
I used this horn in high school. I knew I wouldn't continue playing but wanted something better than my first trumpet. Others had the strad. and personally, I saw no difference. I can't say enough about the valves, 5 years not played and they move like I just oiled them... and I didn't!

Pros:
Monel pistons, 1st valve saddle, 5" bell
Cons:
Totally spartan, only 100B on bell (not even Conn name); monel pistons subject to slight corrosion
A nice intermediate horn. Monel pistons corroded slightly and gave me problems until I learned to wipe them down periodically and use only one valve oil (Al Cass in my case). Horn is incredibly generic and unadorned; it doesn't even say Conn on it, although the case does have badge reading "Conn USA 'Doc' Severinsen". The fact I don't have much else to say indicates how solid this horn was; I just played it all through high school and college without thinking about my horn.
