Frequently Asked Questions
It's generally good, but expect slight adjustments needed in the higher register, common in budget-friendly horns.
The lacquer is decent, but the painted finish is softer than a traditional plating and can chip with bumps and scrapes. Careful handling is advised.
Piston valves, like these, are generally easier for beginners to manage and offer a more direct feel, while rotary valves are more common in professional instruments.
