This is not for an apartment dweller. LOUD!!! yet silky. Can create insane overblowns that sound as if they're coming from a tuba. Trumpets are a beautiful succession. Excellent percussive player. Would make for an ideal busking didge. Dark blue fills as a dramatic contrast to the carmel coloring of the fir, which is the primary trees of the forest where I live. At 59 inches and only 5 lbs this is an easy carry which delivers tons of excitement
