I'll tell ya what... It's a good horn. It's one of those horns that's designed for small to medium large ensembles. Good tone and good flexability. But I would not recommend this horn. The horn that I own has problems with pitch (loves to play sharp and it gets sharper as you go up), and the second F below the staff (the fourth line down) just plain doesn't speak. Personally, I would look at the Yamaha 882 (if you're lookin' for the CC version), or the new 5-valve Miraphone (I think the 191) if you're lookin' for a BBb horn.
Good luck,
