I think that Conn considers the 5J a full size, 4/4, horn. It is a good, 4 valve horn that could work as the only horn she ever needs if she doesn't ever decide to major in tuba performance. I suggested the 15J, which is the 3 valve version, because it is lighter and less expensive, but the 5J would work if she can handle the size.
