...and the price has gone up.

I guess students are used to that!!

Combine that with terrible intonation and response, I would never say they were "good for students"

Why not? If they can play THAT, then they can play anything...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

What band director in their right mind would allow that in their band? It's like kids using those colored mendini instruments, it draws attention in a bad way.

Having owned one of these I'd say $13.99 is more like it. Intonation was like a beat up fiberglass sousa only not as impressive. :wink: Thankfully I found someone who really wanted it and it has a new home. Giving one of these to a kid who is just starting out would make them drop out of band. :( But "it make you much happy". :lol:
