Definitely not. We sold a few of them to schools in the last 2 years and they have been nothing but trouble. Poor quality bracing doesn't stand up to school students. We've had them in and out of the shop umpteen times; have had to send some back to Mark to fix/replace (and waited months to do so). I definitely would NOT recommend a student model Atkinson. (his customizing and mouthpieces are a different story, although the wait time isn't much better)
