I own a 1971 model of this trumpet. The instrument has gigged incessantly over the past 30 odd years and all without problems. The trumpet I have has a silver plate finish and tends to give a warmer tone than the laquered type. The valve action is absolutely phenomenal.

This is an excellent quality horn, built to last, has excellent intonation, sound, projection, tone color/quality is rich and warm, and is easy to blow.
