I am new to the Tenorhorn (baritone) though I have played the English Tenor Horn (alto!) some years ago. Having ordered on trust I am delighted to say this instrument is so easy to play, free blowing, mechanically very sound and even with my inexperience it has a wonderful tone. I am delighted with it, Thomann service too. Very few musicians play the curved tenor/baritone horn in this country and so I feel privileged to possess one of such good quality and at an amazing price. Thank you Thomann1
