Strengths:	This is an incredible alternative to the Bach Strads, at a much more reasonable price. The valves are even faster than Bach. I've owned 2 of them (one with the heavy valve bottoms)and they are superb.
Weaknesses:	If you get the heavy valve caps, don't get gold plated-that wears off after polishing a few years-get silver.

I don't think anyone would be dissapointed in this trumpet. It really rates up there with the Stomvi and Bach Strad, but doesn't get the attention or credit it deserves. Both of mine had better fit & finish than the Bach.
