Please help me find the right words -

One of my students, without my blessing, purchased a "Maestro" horn off of Ebay. The horn is modeled after a name brand, but the quality is very poor and I fear that the thing will fall apart before my student leaves junior high.
How can I explain, nicely, that he should return the horn and spend his money more wisely? He saved up to purchase the instrument himself, and is very proud of his "Christmas present to me". I really think that he could get a better used horn for the price that he paid on Ebay, and I want to steer him in that direction.
Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Wil
