Pros:
Good beginner trumpet
Cons:
Sticky valve action (even after they are oiled)
I hadn't played the trumpet in 30 years and I needed a horn in short order for a new brass ensemble at my church (and to "get my lip back"). At the time, it was all I could afford. It has a good tone. The valve action is not what I remembered with a Conn I used to own back in the early 1970s. The valves are rather tricky to get in the right position. I've had the trumpet about 4 months. Good fit & finish; a very nice case came with the horn. Plan to move up to a better instrument in the near future.
