That’s expensive for a chinese brand that i’ve never heard of. You could buy a pretty good condition bach 42 or conn 88h for that price, which is probably what it’s copied after.

Why not contact the Colorado music store that's selling the trombone and ask your questions?

15-20 years ago we had weril horns in a music store I worked at. They are ok horns, but they are not at a professional level when compared to Bach or Conn. They tend to be a heavier horns, with looser tolerances. I would save up for a used Bach 42.

It’s a Weril… out of Brazil… I would consider them to be an intermediate level horn. Along the same line as a Rath 400… but the Rath is slightly better.

For a couple hundred dollars more you could have a decent used Bach 42, which is what this instrument is copying.

I thought the Rx00 series was on par with shires Q series and a professional horn.

"Professional" is just a word. It's a marketing term. You don't have to pass a test, meet a standard, have a license, or get a certification to term an instrument "professional." Companies often use this terminology to describe their most expensive instruments (which probably cost more to manufacture) to show their value (and perhaps quality) relative to "lesser" items in their catalog, and to justify their high prices. For many manufacturers, the "professional" designation is probably well-earned and well-accepted. But not for all. And on the other hand, I believe that some of Yamaha's "intermediate" instruments are first class ("professional" quality)!

I agree.....any brand can call anything "professional" these days. It just like those folks who sell a 2019 trombone on Ebay and call it a "vintage" instrument because it is beat up and tarnished. Technically, they are correct.....everything has a "vintage" or date of origin.

Don't fall for those silly marketing terms, like: professional, professional-grade, high-grade, vintage, artisan, hand-crafted, etc.... They are probably putting lip stick on a pig.
