Pros: Plays loudly, cheap, easy for ANY one to play meant for marching band,
Cons: Not for light, classical music

One, day, Went to the pawn shop, saw this. But it didn't have the 1st slide saddle or anything. The slides were glued shut. I soaked it in mystery oil for about 4 to 5 days and it popped out. It works! MENT FOR MARCHING BAND!!!!! It is very light and plays loudly! MARCHING BAND QUALITY

Pros: Fit, finish,tone quality, slotting,ease of playing
Cons: Tight 3rd slide

Have had it a few months. Plays better than most student horns and a great value. It is fine for the concert band and swing band that I play in. I am using some Bach heavy valve caps on it now. Not as bright as an Olds Ambassador or Reynolds Medalist.
