OK--these are everywhere and generally cheap. This one stands out because if its scratch-brush finish. It's been epoxy-lacquered and it looks very nice. The inner and outer slide tubes were replaced with used tubes from a Conn, (there was chrome peel on the original inners, and red rot on the outers) so it should give many years of service. A few cosmetic issues along the bell throat as seen in pictures, but it plays like it's supposed to.
