Pros:
General finish, solid feel, very good appearance, nice tone.
Cons:
Fine detail imperfection - a small amount of lacquer "wicking" between two very closely adjacent tubes - not easily seen. Valve action nice but not as good as my Getzen - the valves EP4071 still has had little run in time yet.
This is a great little horn - the small bell 3.62mm minimises the volume, but not so that you notice much. I purchased this trumpet so that I may practice when travelling - I pack the Weril and a Harmon bubble mute and my hotel room becomes my stage. The finish is unusual in that the brass has been sand blasted, plated to a 24ct gold frosted finish and then clear lacquered, highlights are in an unfrosted finish. Some say it looks a little like plastic until they handle and play the instrument. Great little trumpet.
