My experience has been overall good with these horns.
I bought two for a school where I taught 2 years ago, and I was happy with the sound. The soldering of the braces was not as good as it could have been, but that was simple to fix. I believe that they were a little easier to dent than som eof the older American horns, but the sound and ease of playing made them good purchases.
The cases were not as dependable, but mine were 90's vintasge. They may be better now.
They are on my list of horns when I consider buying horns for larger kids and all high school settings.
