Good Points

Mine is a silver plated one. It looks OK


Bad Points

Valves poor and sticking. Stuffy tone - have to blow hard to get a decent clear note.
Valves very fussy about how they are installed - plastic collars don't locate positively in the location slots in the valve bores.


General Comments

May have been a 'Friday' instrument. Seems like the valve bores had missed an operation as the valves had been badly scored probably by burrs on the tube exit holes.
It was a shop return bought cheaply with no warranty so I got what I paid for.
This trumpet was a prime example of poor quality control.
