For my youngest, 6 years, I was looking for a handy and especially light and yet high-quality euphonium and ordered this one. His teacher was skeptical at first, because of the good reviews I wanted to risk it anyway and ordered times, maybe for the beginning at least, because the metal one is still too heavy for him and immediately banged on his head when trying, although he held it in a sitting position. The teacher at the music school tested it extensively and was very enthusiastic, he said it was enough for the first years, even longer.
Apart from the functionality, I like the sturdy case with wheels and straps, it looks very valuable. The only drawback: in the mouthpiece plug hole provided in the case you can not put the supplied plastic mouthpiece, because then the case would no longer close. But there is still space next to it. The mouthpiece also has a large shank, if that is relevant to anyone for other mouthpieces (I could not find in the description), which is why on the music school instrument with a small shank the mouthpiece does not fit and we always have to lug the whole device with us, in the new school year we will buy two matching identical mouthpieces to remedy this.
You have to watch out for the closing of the 4th slide before you put it in the case, 1x forgotten and already broken (could you maybe dismantle it yourself in the meantime with children??? Now in any case too late), a replacement valve I have just requested and hope that there is one to it, currently the 4th valve is permanently open.
Conclusion: I would buy it again at any time!

Ultralight, good response, good mood, you get used to it quickly. Valves are somewhat noisy, thread on upper valve caps stiff, trains (especially on the 1st valve) tight, but tend to fall out. When marching tape helps to secure.
