Last night I Tied a rubber band around the main spit valve to seal it and played it for a while. It seems to play quite well. It is a very warm tone and responds well from low to high C. I think I might send it out to get overhauled. I tried to find pictures of the Sonora model trumpet, but there are none on the web and the only info I found is that they supposedly are a horrible beginner horn, but this one played well in tune. I even tried emailing B&S with pictures and the serial number but have yet to hear anything back.
