I've used the trombone in smaller orchestras, folk music bands, and in marching bands.
+ nice response (Doesn't give too much resistance )
+ it glides really well (and I rarely need to oil it.)
+ Nice tone
+ Underpriced (pretty good quality for the price)
- looks cool but doesn't fit in with the rest of the trombone section in for example marching bands
- compared to other trombones the bell is closer to the player than usual.
(If you are used to using the bell as a reference point for your slide positions you have to take into account that the fourth slide position on this trombone is usually about 3 cm past the bell. took me a while to get used to, but it makes you practice your musical ear and it can be overcome)
