My parents bought me this horn when I was in 8th grade. Mine was made in 1994 and I still own it. I wish I had taken better care of it. It is soon to be in its last year of college marching band, after which it will receive a complete restoration. It is a truly wonderful horn, and I've had Strad owners actually prefer the sound and feel of this horn over their Strads! That said, it's still an intermediate horn, and lacks some of the Strad "zing." A great horn for a high school player though. I have definitely gotten a ton of use out of this horn!

This is an excellent trumpet. I can't tell the difference this horn and a strad. Its nine years old and still playing very strong.

Got this trumpet in 2002. Best investment I have made. Great for jazz and holds its own when I jam. Some of my friends who have Strads love the feel and ease with high notes.

This horn is great, it is like a bach strad only not! I,ve played this horn in a conceet sage, in marching band, and mostly everything that has to do with trumpet, i love the silverness of it, mine came with a gold trim and a 5c gold mouthpiece, came in a wooden shell case, the defect is that the plating can be scratched easily, i would suggest getting a valve guard and a polishing or cleaning kit for it, Bach is the best name brand on the market today, always will be buying a horn from Bach

My sister played this for marching and Symphonic band and then was passed to me and its the best.I play in Jazz band,Marching,Wind Esmb,Back Up Band,Pep Band,Solos,Pit Orchtra you name the Omega does everything.I did however do a bad thing and pour powder soap down it to clean it once and i kinda screw it up but its all good now except the main tuning slide because of that soap took off all of the material and yes the brass shined yellow but now i have to put Hetman Ultra slide on because it will come out.This beats Strads hands down.(even though i play one but shhhh)
