Rate this horn Please!

Hi, I am thinking of buy a King Zephry series IV serial number 394XXX and was wondering if this is a good horn for an intermediate player. I currently play a Yamaha student model (YTS-21) How does this compare. Thanks.

      Zephyrs are great horns with fantastic intonation and sound. Buescher's are great horns too. I especially like the 400 Top Hat and Cane models and the Big B Aristocrat models. as for one being better than the other? It's really a matter of preference. Of the pre-1930 horns, the Bueschers had the best intonation.
