I've been looking to get a trumpet and I couldn't afford one from a music store. I went on line and found this one and I'm thrilled with it. The price was great and the service was fantastic - I actually received the item in 2 days. The music teacher likes the instument too.

My 10 year old will be starting trumpet lessons next month at school. Her music teacher examined the trumpet and said it was an excellent choice for a beginner. My daughter loves that it came with cute, little white gloves. Although the picture looks like a soft case, the actual interior is hard. A local music store wanted to charge me $240 for the same trumpet. Always check Amazon.com first!

I purchased this for one of my trumpet students because it received decent reviews & saved me the hassle of trying a bunch of used horns on her behalf. I was pleasantly surprised. Arrived on time as promised (I'm an Amazon Prime customer). Out of the case, valves were a little dry, after some Blue Juice, they were running smooth. Both the first and third valve slides move easily. Tuning slide was also fine. Ships with a standard 7c mouthpiece.

Blowing through the horn was better than I expected. The sound in the middle register is round, not too bright (I was expecting something really thin). It's a small bore so the high range was easy to reach but intonation was a little off with standard fingering above high C. Standard intonation in the low range, third valve slide kicked way out for the low F# and still felt loose (maybe it was my chops, who knows).

I was impressed (almost jealous) by the case- as far as gig bags are concerned, very nice. Lightweight, and no room for mutes or anything, but a very hard shell that I'd feel comfortable using for any of my horns. Also included was a thin pair of white gloves (not sure what purpose they serve), and a bottle of mediocre valve oil.

Only odd or negative aspect of this horn was this weird strange smell on the inside of the case itself. Really can't describe it other than seemed like a mix of diesel fuel and something awful. I didn't notice it, but my student's mom did.

All things considered, for the price, I'd recommend this horn for any beginner level student. Not recommended for more advanced players, who will want to try out a few horns before they settle on the right sound and feel.

For the price, this is a good quality trumpet. It comes nicely packed in a hard canvas case with the mouthpiece attachment (warning: some instruments purchased online may try to rip you off by not sending you a mouthpiece). Not the nicest sound quality ever, but perfect for a beginner instrument or a high school - college band (what I use it for). Overall a nice instrument. Also -- ordered it on a Friday and received it on Monday...I was surprised how quickly it shipped!

Most band directors will not want this instrument in their band program.
It is a very poorly built trumpet.
Many band directors will not allow instruments like this in their band program.
Buyer beware: you get what you pay for.
These instruments not only don't hold up, they cannot be fixed.
Check with your band director first before buying.

I did a TON of research when deciding on what to do for my 9 year old who wanted to play trumpet this year. Should I rent...should I buy...what should I spend...what brand...you get the idea.

This Trumpet is a great student value. It plays well, the valves are free and springy with great action, and the slides all move smoothly and easily. I am not en expert, but I am very happy I decided to purchase this trumpet for my 9 year old to learn on. He loves it and it is just as functional as the ones some of his classmates have that cost several hundred more. If it lasts him through the 4th grade, it is well worth it. Cheaper than renting one and at the end of the day, he has his own trumpet.

My grandson lives on a military base in Germany and wanted to start playing the trumpet. Renting an instrument is not an option there. I was hesitant about purchasing an instrument on line and the reviews on Amazon for this trumpet are mixed. I can attest that both my grandson and his band instructor are very pleased with the quality and the sound. I also ordered some "Blue Juice" for the valves as recommended in one of the reviews and that has been a good purchase. This is a good instrument for a beginner and is reasonably priced.

The trumpet arrived in excellent condition. It will be perfect for a beginning trumpet student. She is thrilled wit it.

We purchased this trumpet for my son's first year in band. It sounds good and has held up very well. I would definitely recommend for a student.

I bought this trumpet as my son's first. This is his 1st year in Band. I didn't want to pay alot if he didn't stick with the instrument. I have a musical background, so I have tried to play other instruments and I know the "feel" of them. The trumpet arrived very quickly. (Fulfilled by Amazon). My son played it but it sounded awful like a sheep bleating. I tried to play it and it sounded awful. Specifically changing between notes. I noticed one valve was slow to come up. My son took it to his music teacher and he said the valves were in the wrong places!!!!!!!! How terrible! This company didn't put the trumpet together properly. Now I have to send it back and find another trumpet and my son has to wait to continue learning.
