The 593 Bb Herald Trumpet offers a great sounding instrument that is perfect those who need a little extra visual appeal. With standard banner rings mounted to the bell, the 593 is the perfect fanfare trumpet.

Pros:
It has a body that feels like a standard horn.
Cons:
Over blows really easy.
I play trumpet at a few different renaissance festivals. I bought this horn because of its relitively low price. I am used to playing on monette equipment. (XLT 2000) When I first got this horn I used my monette B2S3 mouthpiece and the horn overblew really easily. I switched to a Dennis Wick 3A that I had laying around and it solved most of that problem. If you don't try to play it too loud, it is an ok horn.
