Hummm...

I don't see why one wouldn't be useful for learning. The feel of my metal horn (US Bandmaster) is notably different than a typical setup. Seems like mine is more resistant. I have no idea if that's typical on a metal horn.

My only criticism of that horn is the intonation. It's flat up high, sharp down low. Now when I play 2nd, 3rd clarinet it's all manageable. But I usually play 1st, and the music renders the horn useless. Tangling with sharp flutes is a battle not worth fighting.

In full disclosure, I bought the horn on an internet auction site for $100. My intention was to make a lamp out of it. But thing was in such great shape I had it re-padded. I'd ask if the Bboard perhaps knows tuning tendencies of varies metal horns. Again, my US Bandmaster is flat in the altissimo, sharp chalumeau.
