The sound is very warm and mellow, but not quite as breathy as I thought it'd be - which is a good thing. It's great for adding a vintage touch, and it's super fun to play and easy to make great recordings of.
The craftsmanship is great too; nothing to complain about. At this price, you won't get a master piece of course - but for what it is, it's truly great, and I'd feared something much more terrible in quality.
It's fairly light weight; probably lighter than many expect it to be - but that just makes it easier to handle for prolonged sessions.
