The Alloras are built in Germany at
JA Musik GmbH who makes the Challenger Trumpet. That doesn't mean it is a Challenger. But it does come from a good factory. At least WWBW didn't go to a cheap place to have their line made (like Amati).
My guess is that the horn is unusual, but the quality should be OK. The problem I have is that an Allora costs $995 new [

For $1000 you can buy a lot of trumpets that are better known and may play better (I know at least one :wink: ). I would suppose the lower Dollar vs. the Euro doesn't help the price of this horn.
