I used to play a Holton H279 which I had converted with a Lawson Ambronze bell. I thought that horn was the easiest I had ever played until I purchased the H281 with the Rose bell. This horn has the most beautiful sound quality of any horn I have ever played. My only complaint is that it has taken quite some time to break it in. But if you want a beautiful sound, this horn even has good sound in the lowest register. This will be the last horn I will ever buy.
