The horn comes in a custom made Manning case from San Francisco (worth $600). There are two necks included: one is a silver neck and the other is a gold plated neck that offers a bit more power. The action of the key work is light, comfortable, and the mechanics are solid. Bottom line is that this is a top notch horn. It is unclear if this is essentially a Jubilee before it was marketed as such. There is some plating worn off on the palm keys and low pinky keys, but no dents or noticeable scratches. My tech says the body is most likely silver alloy (not plated), and the bell and key work is beautifully gold plated. I have received numerous compliments on how warm and big my sound is with this horn. This horn is a gem! If you're looking for that big vintage sound and want to be set apart from the pack, this is the horn for you! Intonation is great top to bottom. Beautiful Gold and Silver Borgani with serial #19407.
