Man, that shit Really Works! I've got some issues with the valves at first. Had to send back the first purchase and ask for a replacement ( no prob there). First valve still in need of some run-in, but works perfectly after some time. Sound s really amazing. Upper register provides perfect screaming, and very low register ( generally tricky on cheap trumpets) comes out fat and easy. Very responsive, strong attack. Of course, it' s very light, so the response is like something you d expect from an expensive lightweight brass trumpet. Just use a real mouthpiece on it ( the one provided is a joke). Doesn't features 1st n 3d valve tuning slides, but is amazingly in tune as it is. Definitely good stuff then.
