Plays like a very high end euc but with more explosive ovrerblowns and with better volume than you'd expect from a euc. This is the type of instrument for a professional touring musician. Whether it goes to someone already world famous or if it goes to a beginner it will be a best friend to whoever is lucky enough to spend endless hours with it. The trumpets are so easy. The overblowns are powerful and add a solid beat with your diaphragm slaps. Volume is variable, plays extremely well at full tilt or whisper soft. A love story waiting to blossom.
