I have a Conn 56J right now and I really like it. There are some problems with it I have found though. You will need to gat a bag/case custom made until Conn puts one out. There is also a very long distance that you need to push the pistons down so fast passages can be a little more difficult. Otherwise it's a great horn, especially for the price. I reccomend the sound of the satin silver finish. The only other horn that sive that I've seen that rivals it is a Getzen horn my friend has, but I don't lnow the model or any specifics of that horn. Bear in mind that the Conn is also on the small side, which makes it suitable for orchestral playing, but not really ideal in a large orchestra setting in my opinion.

Good luck,
Jeff
