Made in Japan, not China. This was my daughter’s first horn for 2 years. It was bought used but the condition is still good. Compression is good and easy to play. The sound is full and clear, and the valves are in great shape. Mouthpiece is not included. Original case, but it was repaired so that it might close better. Small dings and dents here and there, but does not affect the sound. Good first horn to learn on because of its good intonation and smaller wrap (size). She is now on a professional double horn so we no longer need it.
