Outstanding Student Trumpet,
By
This review is from: LJ Hutchen Bb Trumpet with Plush-Lined Case (Electronics)
I purchased the LJ Hutchen brand trumpet from Hyson Music for my middle-school aged son and am extremely satisfied with the product. This trumpet is a quality instrument with excellent tone and smooth valve action. As someone who has played a vintage Reynolds trumpet for about 30 years, I can tell you that the LJ Hutchen is an excellent instrument for the beginning or intermediate musician. It also came in an attractive and sturdy case. In my experience, you will not find a better quality trumpet anywhere near this price range. My hat is off to LJ Hutchen company. I will also add that the folks at Hyson music shipped it REALLY fast. I ordered via Amazon on Monday night and had the trumpet on my doorstep on Thursday morning (in VA). It has been a great purchase in every respect, and my son is glad to have a shiny new trumpet!

I'll Toot This Horn,

This review is from: LJ Hutchen Bb Trumpet with Plush-Lined Case (Electronics)
I played trumpet for years in high school and college, and I had an old Doc Severinsen model that I had a crystal clear beautiful sound with. Several years ago, I purchased an inexpensive trumpet and it sounded like garbage. I've decided to get back into playing again. Based on the reviews, I decided to go "cheap" and try this one. By "cheap" I mean as compared to the $500+ I could spend on what I knew would be a high quality instrument.
The other users are right on target about the valves being turned funny in the chambers, but that's easy to fix. Simply unscrew the tops of each valve chamber (not the stem itself), and turn them until they click. When seated properly, air should be able to be blown freely through the trumpet with all the valves up. If not, simply try turning them again. With a good eye you can line up the holes in the valves with the trumpet. The trumpet ships with valve oil, and the slides are clearly well greased and ready for action. I took it out of the case, adjusted the valves as noted, blew through it for about 2 minutes to warm it up, and then produced a sound equivalent to my beautiful old Doc Severinsen. The valves work easily, the slides slide gracefully, and the most important piece is the sound quality is amazing. As if all that wasn't enough, I ordered the item, and it was on my doorstep within 3 business days. If you have a youngster just starting out, or are getting back into it like I am, or need a good concert quality trumpet without spending a thousand dollars, this is the horn for you!

Although I do play music, I am not a trumpet player. But I bought this instrument for a 9-year-old boy who is just beginning to play. He loves this trumpet, and I love hearing him play. He is making amazing progress. The instrument sounds wonderful, is solidly constructed, and easy to maintain. I think that it is a perfect choice and a fantastic value. I love the fact that the man behind the Hutchen concept is so committed to the musical education of young people. I will recommend Hutchen instruments to other parents.
