Answer
Nicola, Kuhnl and Hoyer has been making horns since 1948 and has some very nice playing models. The price you paid is good and for a beginner it should be a good starter horn. I would start with the JK mouthpiece since it is a world standard 7C model. The other mouthpiece sounds like a shallow model signature piece. It would be better for an experienced player.
