Our Take:

"Step-up level Bb Baritone Horn (Lacquer finish). The John Packer JP173 features a compact and comfortable design, monel valves and noise-free nylon valve guides. Priced as a starter horn, it plays and feels like it belongs in the premier division. This horn is not out of place among the step-up model baritones. Once more,  all our new instruments receive the Gazebo stamp of approval before listing".
