Sound & Tone
Rating: 3
Comments: The basic sound is beautiful. real easy except vibrato is noisy
well balanced in output range
Well tuned
Design & Construction
Rating: 4
Comments: rickety frame, fairly easy to dissemble, seems to have been strong for a long time, easy with a van to transport, poor dampers, not height-adjustable, same width bars, metal silver colored polished bars, pitted, Motor and gears are too noisy for me. rubber belts don't last long, frame quiet when played, casters are noisy, sloppy

Comments: yes, jazz, standards, a student model, might prefer a wider bar and spacing "modern" instrument
