Would this work for a high school student? I am trying to help a friend here in Indianapolis find something with an f-attachment for her son as he enters 9th grade.

Probably a great horn, but maybe a bit much for the average 9th grader.

The thing is, even though it might be too large now, within a year or two the student will probably be just fine size-wise. I don't think buying something smaller now and then buying something again in 2 years is wise.
Personally, if the son doesn't plan on a music career, a smaller bore instrument like a Bach 36, Conn 79H, or Yamaha 684 (or 640 or 646) might be a good investment.
On the other hand, most college music majors will be required to have a large bore instrument and the Bach 42 or Selmer Largo would be suitably "professional" (no matter what the Shires/Edwards snobs say). I think I might prefer the Largo, but that's my personal feeling.

He's not a big kid, but his dad is ~6'2" so it's possible he could grow over the next couple years. It's pretty unlikely he'll be a music major in college, so keeping eyes open for a smaller bore instrument might be prudent.

I agree with "BurgerBob" This would be a better fit for the serious trombonist looking to major in music, but I don't see why not buy it if you have the money... Plus i'm in Fort Wayne, so instead of paying shipping you could come get it from me.
