Pros:
Good student horn, sturdy, cheap
Cons:
Not a pro horn (see above), valves
First, understand that the score I gave the horn is based on it being a student instrument. This was my first horn and it served me dutifully in that capacity for 4 years til I got my Strad. The tone and intonation aren't that bad and it is of pretty strudy build. My main gripe was that the valves got slow and eventually it picked up a bit of a fuzzy tone (an air lead somewhere maybe). However, for a student horn it definitely does the job.
