Yes, however i deprimed them and cleaned them with liquid cleaner and rotated in timbler with steel pins. I always do this for my loads.

Brass was tumbled and pretty polished. I ran it all through a bulge buster, de-primed, swagged out any crimps and tossed out a very small number of crushed cases or flaky plating. I gave away the plated stuff and then tumbled again before reloading.I am very satisfied with my purchase and will do it again.

My brass was in excellent shape, but was very dirty. I had to tumble it for about 6hrs to get it clean.

Yes. If you clean, inspect, size and reload the brass accordingly it will shoot like new.

I have not used it on lower brass myself as I do not play brass but strings. I have however out it on mandolin banjo and resonator, as well as my wife's mandolin and can tell you it covers all frequencies well. And I have been to concerts where tenor and baritone sax players used it and it sounded great.

As a music teacher, I would respond that this is not really a substitute for a brass instrument. It doesn't respond the same way as brass and will not allow a child student to develop the right breathing and embouchure. I bought mine just for fun, and for that it is perfect. It is very light to carry and well made. Everything works like a real trombone; it just doesn't have the same feel or sound.

It's not brass. I am not in front of it so I can't remember of the top of my head if it is plastic and stainless steel or just plastic. I know at least the fitting area is stainless steel. It still works great and cleans up easily. No issues so far.

Probably not because military brass tends to have the primer glued in and it's tough to get it out. I haven't gotten any of the primers out of mine but someone told me if you push it will pop out.

it comes as pictured. to fill the tubes with brass quickly buy the case collator.it can fill the four tubes in less than a minute .the four tubes all together hold about 88 brass. http://leeprecision.com/case-collator.html another good product is the bullet feeder. http://leeprecision.com/bf-kit-40thru44-to.65l.html i use to use it linked ti the press, but disconnected the automatic function and now i just slide the bullets into position .this works good also.

Yes, it can be used for brass instruments, it has rubber clips and can also be clipped elsewhere and set to audio tune

I don't know. I don't have anything brass I can test it on. If I find something, I'll let you know.

There is one version that is Brass (yellow) and one that is Stainless Steel (silver) so make sure you order the one you want, we bought the brass one looks great!

ordered a 1000 lot, there were a lot of federal brass. The brass only holds the bullet and powder, it does not improve or hinder gun performance. All manuf. tell you that their brass is better than other brands. Have shot six shot groups with three or four different brands, no different result with all same brand.

Yes. It is not too low and not too high; another words, it is good and playable does not require too much pressure to sound notes. It also has a great sound.

My 11 year old son plays one in 6th grade band. It sounds as good as a brass bone, but weighs less than 3 lb! Highly recommend it!

It is a moderately loud tick tock with the option of the bell on the down beat. I have had the old time metronomes and it sounds close to it. I like the tone of it.

Brass. I've had mine nine years, not a single problem. Left outside three seasons a year.

It's actually harder. The instrument is played by touching silver-like studs, which are not pushable buttons. So the feel isn't anywhere near the real thing. Honestly I wish I'd bought the more expensive model. I mean this works fine but, it certainly wasn't what I expected. If you're used to playing regular brass I wouldn't recommend this.
