The simple truth is, if you have the talent, you can make even a craptastic horn sound good. Buy the Jean Paul. You won't regret it. |
Let's hear you play! You must be amazing.

+1, tho I am certain the OP is long gone...
I bought a 50's era 22b here on the Marketplace for my daughter. Fantastic as a beginner horn, and good enough to get her through high school as a casual player.
