[Trombone-l] Your views

Since most of you are professionals and have a lot of experience with different instruments and grades of instruments I wanted to ask if any of you have had experience with The Gerhard Baier brand of Trombone? About a year and a half ago I happened onto an almost new Gerhard Baier Bolero, large bore trombone at the local thrift store. I got it for $155.00 and it was in almost perfect condition. The workmanship on it is perfect and the slide is flawless. How would you rate it? I guess it can't be called a professional grade instrument but I believe it is better than a student grade horn. I have been playing it regularly ever since I got it and I like it. I just thought I would put this out to get your comments and views. Thanks guys
