Anyone own/owned one of these and have an opinion on it? The usual stuff...tone quality, response, intonation challenges, valve openness, etc.

Thanks!

I owned one years ago. Unfortunately i was not really impressed. Kind of stuff playing feel. Response and Intonation ok but not really good. The sound was nothing special. Hard to blend with other horns.

The later 168 and Tr150 are much better horns. Just my thoughts.
