They are a favorite among jazz and classical players alike; they are also popular with advancing students.

Som mais escuro, a numeração 3.0+ é mais leve que o normal para tocar, a dificuldade foi parecida com uma 2.5. Som bom e equilibrado, todas na caixa veio em perfeito estado, nenhuma lascada ou com qualquer dano.
