I wouldn't give that to my worst enemy..
I wouldn't play it in a guggenmusik. Don't waste the money unless you're looking it for the case.

Agreeing with previous posters:
GDR era B&S/Weltklang didn't have adequate technology to make good piston valve blocks.
The bell flares may be wide, but they are ridiculously shallow.
