After years and years away from playing, I wanted back into my music but my former horn had long since been sold. I wanted a quality tenor without breaking the bank; after much research decided upon the Jean Paul TS-400. Right off the bat I was impressed; horn came in its own protective box placed inside the shipping box. And the case - wow - is beyond top-grade! I can see how much care went into protecting the horn and this case more than assures that. The horn itself is subtly but beautifully detailed, not overwhelming, but very attractive. I was able to play right out of the case, but after so many years away from playing, as expected, am working on embouchure and breath control. I take very good care of my horn - it deserves this as it's providing me with so much pleasure. For quality and affordability, you can't go wrong here.
