The problem is mainly that it is too small for a group over about 35 people
A big horn the 5J isn't. Small bore--0.658 or thereabouts. The Olds O-99 has virtually the same geometry and bore. Neither is a bad horn and either can be quite useful in smaller ensembles--just don't expect to carry a full concert band with one.
