I've been playing the trumpet for about 10+ years now, and use this trumpet primarily for rehearsal settings. It's a good beginner trumpet, and a good rehearsal trumpet, but if you have been playing the trumpet for more than 3 years, then consider getting a professional trumpet. (Even though they're much more costly) This is a fairly decent trumpet for the price. Nice finish, durable case, valves a little crammed--however a good valve oil should solve it.

Can't beat it for $99!

The valves were sticky, but a little valve oil fixed that easily. The instrument itself is well constructed; it doesn't appear that any components are shoddy or that the manufacturer cut corners. The sound isn't professional obviously, but it does have a nice sound, and is easy to play. The mouthpiece is fairly run-of-the-mill, but by no means poor quality. Finally, the case is sturdy and well padded.

If you're just starting out, this is perfect. If you're a professional, this is a good rehearsal instrument.

My son decided to give band a try this year, and I was a little overwhelmed by the choices of renting/buying....after going to our local music store and comparing the prices on Amazon, we realized we would come out ahead by purchasing the instrument. After comparing all the ones listed and reading the reviews, my son chose this one. He is very pleased with it, and for the price, I dont think we could go wrong. He and I both loved that it came with a hard case to protect it (he is a boy). Like I said, this is his first year at trying this instrument, so we are not experts in this field, but I believe we did very well in purchasing this one for him to start with.

For the past three years, my daughter has worked on a local service project to get musical instruments to schools in financially challenged areas. The members of the music honor society hold bake sales to raise money to buy some new instruments in addition to the used ones they collect.

According to the band director, this instrument was very affordable and very appropriate for students just starting out. The students used their bake sale money to purchase one of these each of the past three years, and the recipient band directors have been thrilled with it.

My son saved his money up to purchase this trumpet. He currently plays 6 different instruments, he wants to learn as many as he can. He purchased this with the knowledge that it was a "student" type trumpet, not like what we get from a professional store. The trumpet comes, everything looks great, even sounds good when he plays it but the valves are sticking, which is something that happens, hence the need for valve oil. He keeps oiling it and it will continue to stick, bad. Took it to our local music store for advice and they said this was made in China, the parts are not "stock" and we will not work on it and it will be hard to find anyone who will. My son is extremely frustrated because the instrument looks great and sounds great, but he can not play with out stopping to wait for the valve to pop back up! My advice, get one that is not made in china so you can have it fixed if something doesn't work! If we could find someone to fix it, there would be no problems!

Grand Daughter needed a trumpet asap. Ordered this one and 2 day shipping, received it less than 24 hours later. Good quality for the price and excellant service. Sounds great, looks great.

we purchased this trumpet for a child who was having trouble with a "garage-sale" trumpet. figured for a starter, at that price, if he decided later he wasn't interested, we weren't out a lot of money. unfortunately, the valves stick, and he plays very well, but is so upset by the trumpet that he wants to quit band, thinking he isn't any good. local music repair shop won't touch it, "might dissolve the laquer". so, back to square one. guess I will invest in a quality unit for a student.

We looked into renting for our new 6th grader.We had seen the quality and price per month to rent ($27.99 For 30 Months = $839.70)At best our child continues on to High School and we get a more professional model. At worst he hates playing and we are stuck having paid $840 bucks for an instrument that probably is worth half that.
I played trumpet all the way through college. This model is a great beginner model for both student and parent! Great sound and tone. Valves need oiling for sure. Quality is one that if this instrument is taken care of properly, will last and last. Our son is happy with his new trumpet!!! Oz

Simply awful. First of all, the trumpet's stated brand is "Hisonic", not Signature. Second, and more important, one of the valve guides was already worn, making the valve stick, and I'm having a lot of trouble trying to fix it. I wish I had payed an extra hundred bucks for a workable instrument; this one is not.

This trumpet is great for practices and rehearsals, but it's not for everyone. If you're a new trumpet player, I'd recommend this trumpet because of it's ability to help musicians learn basics and it has an overall decent tone for a great price, but for higher level players this is NOT for you.



If you've been playing for three years plus, I believe it's time you take the jump to intermediate and professional level trumpets due to there richer and bolder tones. They will cost more, but after just seconds of playing, you'll be able to hear your tone dramatically improve. That and I recommend looking for these instruments over Sam Ash or Music & Arts because of their greater selection. Before purchasing any instrument though, always test them out, you might find that you like one more then another, even if they're the same instrument brand/model type...

Hope this helped :)
