Marketed by Vincent Bach and made in Taiwan. Silver leadpipe and rose brass bell. Excellent sound and response for the money. Valves took a few sessions to free up fully but they are now very light under the fingers (but I am a euphonium player mainly!) Beautifully finished. Mobile first and third valve slides - possible even to get a low F natural if ever you need one! Good solid padded case.
Bad Points
Absolutely none that I can see, except that there is no room for a mute in its case.
General Comments
The Elkhart 300 series is arguably one of the best student instruments on the market for the money. A brass teacher and trumpet specialist I know was amazed by its quality, and compared it favourably to others on the market. I managed to get mine for £50 plus postage (unbelievable I know) - supposedly an ex-demo model. I doubt I will ever find a better bargain in my life!
