they are awesome i have one of my own. they have a nice sound and good tone quality. as far as your child starting on one of these i would wait till he gets to know the instrument and learned more. i would recommend that you try and find a used one (although 400 dollars isn't that bad) i started on a really crappy one and i had to earn to get a good sounding horn. but until he gets better i would suggest you start him on a lesser kind of horn. (i do love moniques it's an awesome horn i have one myself) goodluck!!!!!

are you crazy? the better the horn you start with, the easier it is to learn to play. obviously buy the best horn you can in your price range, but think about the future too. why buy a crappy, used horn for 400 when you can buy a decent new horn for the same price with a guarantee?

You buy a less expensive horn because more expensive horns usually have 'harder' fingerings or require better air contol, etc. Also, why buy an expenive one if the kid doesn't like it or simply can't play it?
