It depends on cash...
When using a great mouthpiece for jazz purposes, this instrument can sound absolutely great. I primarily use it with a Jet Tone BM and that makes for easy playability and a very good tone, but...
The main question is how much you're willing to pay for not just good, but spectacular tone. I also happen to have Jiggs Whigham's King Legend signature and using the same mouthpiece, you can hardly compare the two instruments. Especially the higher notes are just downright beautiful and gorgeous on the King (it's also much lighter, by the way). The King just blows everything out of the water, but the pricetag is also 10x as much. Considering how this Thomann instrument is rediculously cheap however, it really becomes the question of whether you want to settle for good tone, or that you want legendary tone. That is for you to decide as 'quality' is in the eye of the beholder. Personally, as I thankfully have the financial power, I would absolutely buy the King again, though this relatively impressive Thomann instrument really makes me doubt that decision. Well done on your part, Thomann.

Jazz trombone
First off for the price you really can't fault this black nickel trombone. The slide is excellant and the weight and ergonomic feel is about the same as a student Yamaha trombone. I've gigged with this one and really enjoyed it's playability. It has a really powerful sound. A good buy!

Good instrument
I bought this instrument for my blues band, trombone isn't my main instrument but I am a brass player. It's sound quality is not bad but I wouldn't recommend for professional use. Colour is nice and it's been a year and varnish is still on and intact. Still a playable instrument you can trust and count on. I was afraid of the "Bb tenor" because i thought i was in the key of b flat like most trumpets but it is a normal non transpositor trombone

Graduating student
I bought this trombone about 3 years ago as a student for the last 3 years in the academy. It plays easily, glides without hindrance, and is a eye catcher due to its special coloring. The only problem is that the more I go up in scales, the higher tuned it sounds, so it requires constant adjustment. But that's me probably more then the instrument.
