I will echo everyone's King 2341 vote for HS use. For younger players or just smaller ones the Conn 12J (3 valve) or 5J (4 valve). For younger players still the King 1135 (or 1140 I forget which it is now) is a nice horn too. It actually has the same valve set as the Conn 12J but with a smaller body. If you need still a smaller horn the Yamaha 105 or Weril copies are very good. The Werils seem to be an excellent value for the money. As you will read by the posts of troubles with Jupiters, I would stay away from them. Ours have not held up well at our school.
