I've not tried one yet but understand that Hiram Diaz with "The President's Own" Marine Band plays one exclusively.

There is a pretty long discussion of this horn on dwerden.com.

I blew one for a very short time at ITF last summer, but not enough to really form an opinion. Even though it is less expensive than a new Willson or Adams, it is still out of my range as a part time amateur on the euph.
