I've own the topsax nino since January. This is a very well built horn with good intonation. For its size this nino is LOUD. I play it every week and have to back off the mic for fear busting eardrums. I have big hand but the hand position is comfortable enough. Its a very good horm and Bob the seller is a good guy to work with. Its fastly becoming my favorite horn to play beside my Buescher TT tenor.
