1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Trumpet, April 12, 2007

This trumpet is of extremely low quality, despite what any other review may say. Most of those reviews are written by non-musicians, likely parents who were looking for a good deal. Granted the instrument is playable, it will seriously constrict the development of a player. This instrument is most likely from china, which in recent years has sent out thousands of low quality instruments at cheap prices. Check out ebay, theres always hundreds of these trumpets under various names such as Laval, Bessler, and Weimer.

Just remember, you get what you pay for. Although even used name-brand student trumpets may cost more, they are of much better quality and can last a lifetime.

Stick to name brands like Bach, Yamaha, Conn, Selmer, King, Kanstul, etc. If you have any doubts, give it a quick search at google.

1.0 out of 5 stars Awful, March 5, 2008

I agree that this is a terrible-quality horn. I'm a trumpet player and band director, and this horn is AWFUL. It's very difficult and restrictive to blow through, and almost impossible to get in tune. The valve action is very sticky and slow. Any horn I've experienced, even from other manufacturers, in this similar price range turns out to be junk.

Do yourself and your music student a favor and invest some money in a better quality instrument from a legitimate music store. If you don't know anything about instruments and are looking to purchase, please consult someone who does!

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, December 14, 2006

I gave this item a rating of 1 star only because it was the lowest offered, otherwise it wouln't have even received a star. This item is extremely low quality and one of the valves was bent upon arrival, it stuck, the trumpet was not playable. We took it to a music store only to be informed that it was not repairable... I would say if you are looking for a quality trumpet, keep looking because if you purchase this, you may as well flush your money down the drain.
