The JP172 has the look of a 'proper' horn. The valve action is sweet and the build quality is very good. This instrument is very easy blowing, but with appropriate resistance.
Intonation is outstanding throughout the entire range of the instrument as is the quality of sound.
Conclusion
The new JP background brass range offers exceptional value for money without compromise in quality or playability and as well as being ideal for beginners due to the cost many more experienced players will be more than happy with the performance. They all come with a complete package including a high quality lightweight case which is constructed again to a high standard and offers exceptional transit protection and also a high quality mouthpiece and cleaning accessory package. In my view they are simply fantastic
