This review is from: Giardinelli GTR 812 Masters Series Pro Trumpet Silver

The Giardinelli GTR 812 Masters Series Pro trumpet is exactly the same horn as (because it is made by Amati) the Amati ATR 604IHS-O heavy professional trumpet. First, it is an outstanding instrument. It begins with flawless craftsmanship and solid construction; valve action is smooth, quiet, and fast; projection is great. It is just a great horn to play. First and third valve slides move effortlessly. Once these trumpets catch on, I'm guessing their prices will go up. For instance I bought the Amati AFH 601I-O pro flugelhorn (a buttery smooth instrument) at the end of 2007, and now the price is up by another $300. In fact, it was because of how pleased I was with the Amati flugelhorn that I decided to try their 604 pro trumpet. Like any instrument, some people will really like the horn and others won't. (I bought a Kanstul C trumpet that I never really got to like even after 3 years of playing it. Someone else is thrilled with it now). So if you're in the market for a solid pro trumpet at a student intermediate price, you owe it to yourself to try this quality European horn from the Czech Republic.
