This is a baritone horn with compensating system. Despite its low price, it is a model well-suited for use in high-level brass bands. The bright sound and quick note separation unique to a 3-piston design are ideal for fast passages, and the silver plating creates a shimmering resonance when playing solos. It boasts specifications that rival those of the higher-end Sovereign models.
