Have you played this Contra?

Has anyone played this horn? What are the pros/cons?

For that price, stay far, far away.

So you’ve played one? Describe?

I have. The fake hagmanns are, unsurprisingly, worse than real Hagmanns in the maintenance department.

Hard to center, and when you do, the sound is not there. Just "blaaaah" with no color or core. They can certainly yell out some notes, but it's not something people want to play next to or hear. Mid range is very bad.

Thank ye kindly

Those fake Hagmann valves are awful. You'll be lucky if they even work.
