Pros:
Beautiful dark, enchanting lyrical sound.
Cons:
Not for everyone, forget high loud jazz parts
Mine is a 180MLV65G w/44 leadpipe. Absolutely fantastic for those slow lyrical pieces. Very dark sound with not much edge at all. Great for solos, but may have trouble blending with others. I recommend try before buying.

Pros:
great sound, great intonation
Cons:
none
Have played a 180MLV72 with #43 leaderpipe for several years. I chose this horn over numerous others because it played so well in tune above the staff and it has a great sound, similar to that of a standard (i.e. non-vindabona) Bach 43, a little brighter than most 37s that I have tried. It is a very versatile, suitable for big band, jazz, or classical. It has a big sweet sound with a larger mouthpiece and brightens up nicely with a smaller piece.
