It is heavier than say my Olds recording or Yamaha 6310Z but only by a few grammes. The playability is great, not sure what easy means when it comes to playability. It is different to the Yamaha feels easier on the lower register and slots better (Lip slurs are far easier). However some of this is to do with the mouthpiece gapping in the reciever and this is where the Harrelson comes into its own. Getting that right for your own playing has a big effect in my opinion. I would not hesitate to recommend one of his horns. Members of both bands i am in have commented how good the tone is, epecially with the upper register.
Is it a heavy horn and easy to play?
