This review is from: Hameln B-flat Trumpet with Monel Valves & Polished Nickel Finish

I purchased this trumpet looking to save a few bucks without sacrificing too much quality. I have been playing trumpet for about 20 years as a student. I am very pleased with this instrument and it's listing is quite accurate. It projects extremely well with a bright tone. Much brighter than the Conn Director models I also own. At first the valves were a bit sluggish, especially after they had been oiled (odd), however when these valves are "on" they have the fastest action I have ever experienced. They feel as if they are on air, literally. The finger tips are genuine mother of pearl inlay and they are well shaped (concave) for your finger tips. I did find that an open middle E sounds noticably flat and the included mouth piece is junk. The finish did tarnish quite quickly, however I have had this issue with other instruments as well so it is probabaly the acid level on my hands, not a finish quality issue and I use a leather valve guard to compensate. I did have to replace the water valve "corks" (which were NOT cork, they were some kind of rubber) as they fell out within the first 2 weeks, but that was only a $2.00 expense and a few minutes to the local shop. Over all this is a great instrument and well worth the price for a virtually unknown brand.
