On the instrument side, I switched from a Yamaha 4335 to this model from B&S and the first impression is very positive. We are clearly in the higher range with much more precise lows and easier access to the highs. For an intermediate level trumpeter (6 years of lessons + practice in a jazz workshop), this model seems to me really a very good value for money. The supplied mouthpiece (9 C) is a bit unsettling after playing on a Bach 1 1/2 C. A matter of adaptation. Plus when you can take advantage of sales...
