It's a beautiful horn and I got lot some of compliments on my tone with this instrument and it sounds as good as the $2500 horn I had borrowed from the school

Great horn

The horn is very solid and the case is very sturdy(Hard case with a soft shell)

Two horns lost the pearls on valve caps during shipping (extremely cold in Ohio during that time) and one mellophone has a leaky spit valve, but no air leak
