This horn's essentially the updated version of the Bundy II.

There's nothing really fabulous about it. It's pretty rugged, but if you're not gonna beat on the horn, I'd suggest that you look at the Yamaha horns -- or even some of the somewhat inexpensive "pro" horns, like Antigua Winds, Cannonball, etc.
