This is an interesting horn. I'll post a screenshot of the ad in case it disappears.

Nice looking horn and case. Does it live up to its name? In what condition are the valves? What does the inside of the tubing look like? Enquiring minds want to know.

Looks like a peashooter stencil horn. I used to have one that looked very similar, and had “Crusader” engraved in the shield. It was not a very good playing trumpet and had a really bright sound.

I distrust anything that asserts itself so aggressively. So I don't really believe in American Made - looks suspiciously like a B&F stencil. Some of those were shipped to the US without water keys, to justify saying "American Made". An instrument entirely made in the US would have been able to boast "American made throughout". And anything boasting Superior Quality usually isn't...

It also says "Easy Play" which we all KNOW is a dirty LIE!!! If playing the trumpet was "easy", who would play saxophone?

I have an EasyPlay cornet. Plays quite nicely. Same logo - shiny plate in satin background.
