Pros:
has a beautiful tone especially in the lower registers
Cons:
have to pay attention to valve maintenance as they can get sticky quite easily
I bought mine new back in 1988. It has taken a beating, and still plays as well as the day I got it. The tone is awesome with the Bach 7C mouthpiece. I love it, and have had many opportunities to replace it with a more expensive model, but each time I just haven't been able to justify it.

Pros:
it's built great, has an awesome tone, easy to maintain, plays great on the lower notes, and much more.
Cons:
need to oil valves often.
I'm only a begginner (4th year) but compare to all of the other trumpets I've heard and played, it rocks!!
