Applications and Characteristics:
While being very successful as a step up model due to it’s accessible price, this instrument has also made a mark as a semi professional model. It has a professional specification at less than a mid range price. Thanks to the input of Paul Riggett (Sterling Brass) the performance and construction standards far exceed those suggested by the price. Also great for higher level training bands, it performs well against more expensive Yamaha YEP642 Maestro.
