It depends on what you want to use it for. It'll pack plenty of oomph in a community band, and can be a great quintet horn if you have good high chops. I don't think I'd use it on some of the big rep, but then my Conn isn't the best choice for Prok 5, either. The piggy I had was a very solid, in-tune all-around horn. It served me very well for my purposes at the time. There can be some consistency issues with Cervenys in general, so try several and take the best one. Also, if you're not used to blowing an .835 bore, it takes some getting used to. But once you do get used to it, the sound of the piggy I had was a sweet, warm European rotary sound. Mine was also very mouthpiece-sensitive, so you'll have to do some experimenting there, too.
