Pros: It looks like a trumpet
Cons: Horrible valves, poorly made, bad sound

I played one of these for about a year before I upgraded to a Getzen. This horn is horrible, especially for students. The valves are made of stainless steel, which is totally unprofessional. A good trumpet will have either monel or nickel silver valves.

These trumpets are cheaply made in India, which pretty much explains it all.

Pros: Sounds fair while playing Bb Concert Scale and comfortable to hold
Cons: Valves are messed up (valves stick & were made incorrectly), difficult to play in th high register, and 3rd valve slide problems

The trumpet play fairly well in the Bb Concert range but, playing in the upper register is extremely difficult. The 3rd valve slide cannot stay on the trumpet even after twisting the stop completely in. Finally, the valves seem to have been poorly manufactured because they stick and, when they are pushed down, the valves stick out over the valve pads. The trumpet looks cool and is comfortable to hold. Just on a side note I have had this horn for three years and have been unable to buy or try out another horn for those years, so the upper range problem may be partially my fault. I also made the mistake of not bringing my mouthpiece so I could play the horn and, after just looking at the horn I purchased it. So try not to get distracted by the newness and shiny silver of the trumpet because in a few years that trumpet will not look like it did when you bought it.
