One of Van Laar's most popular models, the B5, is a standard weight horn that is fluid and easy to play.  The bell has a more conical shape giving it a broad and warm sound yet still sparkles in the upper register.  Slotting is spot on in the upper register yet still easy to manipulate and bend in the middle register.

From Van Laar:

The B5 is also of standard-weight material. Its bell with a more conical taper allows for greater sound projection and imparts a somewhat dark and warm sound. In the upper register the timbre is brilliant and voluminous without sounding strident.
