Pros:
Looks good, decent tone and intonation.
Cons:
POOR VALVES and solder melts into valve oil!
I bought this trumpet as a backup to my Shew and I liked the tone and look right out of the box. Unfortunately after SEVERAL cleanings and relubes the valves still stick and I get a black residue building up after only maybe 20min of playing. The sticky valves render the horn unplayable so I warn you to avoid this horn until Bach can fix this issue.
