Would you call it a 3/4 size?
(although I'm not 100% sure how that is determined - something to do with diameter of tubes and branches?)

If their 18 is a 3/4 size I would call this more of a 1/2 size. There is no consistency in this x/4 sizing among different instrument manufacturers. I have tried a couple of examples of these and find them to be nice little horns, although a little small for me I think they would be good for smaller students and beginners, or someone who wanted a compact horn to carry around. I found it to have a surprisingly good sound for such a small horn.
