This horn peaked my interest because of its affordability, though there isnt much online about this bass trombone. What are your thoughts on:
Responsiveness?   Tone?   Projection?   Durability?     Quality?   Rotors?   Blending?    Defining characteristics? Thanks!

I played on one of the Eastman basses at the KY All-State convention. I really liked it, it was very free and open across all of the registers. From what I've heard though, Eastman instruments don't hold up well. I haven't heard too much about the horns since the convention in Feb. I'm hoping to see more though because the price also interested me.
