Chris Hein's four-volume brass and woodwind library is one of the best available, so it's great news that it has downscaled to a 'compact' and more affordable format for those on a budget.

So what’s the bottom line?

Seriously? Just get them…Chris Hein Horns for a fraction of what it cost to get the complete collection.
Sure you get more playing styles and a few more layers in the “full” complete version, as well as some extra sections…but this right here is no “lite” version. The way you can build your own sections is just plain fun and very useful.
I give this 5 out of 5 subs, it’s quite possibly the best horn library I’ve played with at any price range.

There may be better options if you want a more cinematic or orchestral approach…but for jazzy, funky, big band style horns that YOU control….this is it, period.
I really have nothing else to say, I love these horns, they load quick, they sound good, and the interface allows me to be very versatile with my section creation.
