I just ordered this horn and compared it with a black nickel Keilwerth SX90R, a Yamaha Custom, and a Series III Matte. This horn definitely outplays them all. The altissimo is screaming and in tune, the timbre is even throughout the registers, the ease of playability is amazing, and the aesthetics are wonderful. There is NOTHING I don't like about this horn except that it seems to have been made for players with small hands. But the only uncomfortable key is the low C, and that can be easily fixed. Being a limited production horn with solid silver components, I'm pretty sure this horn will be worth a mint in the future, too.
This horn is very easy to handle. In the horn that I used to play with the low register was extremely groggy and out of tune but this horn on the other hand plays like a dream.
