      we've been renting through school and it was $100 for a year, we did consider 2nd hand instruments but could not find anything good in this range and opted for a quality one from school (Yamaha) as it makes huge difference for a beginner if valves getting stuck etc. It paid off as we've got a request for a new trumpet for Christmas :)

      • jv on 14/11/2021 - 14:53
        +4

        Ours were about $200 per year.

        For 2nd hand, it depends on what time of the year you look.

        Best time is between the end of the school year and over the summer holidays when some students decide not to keep going the following year and offload their instruments.

    I'd suggest a beginner Yamaha that will take them through the next decade nicely if they choose to stick with it, otherwise it holds value well for resale.

    So many things that can be cheaped out on that will lead to a crappy experience on a cheap horn

        • Hugh G Rection on 14/11/2021 - 18:23

          lol, no one looking at this is a professional trumpet player. yamaha is probably good, but for a beginner anything works fine, then eventually upgrade to something better. but most will fail, stop, or get bored, and the the cost on entry is cheaper with this then a yamaha.

          • cydia9k on 14/11/2021 - 18:28

            @Hugh G Rection: I agree most wouldn't follow it through to a lifelong hobby, in which case Yamaha really is the bargain. That said, a cheap instrument like this will pretty well guarantee a crappy experience and a quick resell - why even bother?

            • Hugh G Rection on 14/11/2021 - 18:37

              @cydia9k: its not that much better and less then 20% the price of a yamaha. i get it, you're passionate about your trumpet, you are part of the very few that continued. most won't, and this is an excellent deal. there is always going to be something better. someone else would say why buy a yamaha when you can get a Bach Stradivarius, Getzen, Dizzy Gillespie's Martin, or Harrelson Summit.

                  i have zero idea how to play, i bought this for no reason other then it was a bargain. i will try to learn to play for fun, but i also have other instruments (guitar, violin, ukulele, and piano) that i purchased that are cheap and also playing for fun. i can always gift to to someone else that might be more interested then me to play, so it won't go to waste.

              @cydia9k: Have you watched the review link in bottom of the post? There are quite a few really good reviews for this particular model. It's not a professional instrument but it still works very well after 6 months of good use with zero scratches and marks on the valves. Beginner model TR-330 is different from this one and it indeed has few issues with the valves, that's why they've been upgraded in TR430.

          Schools are typical not renting out $200 no name trumpets, and yearly servicing is easily $150-200 the way 10yo treat them.

  • tromboc on 14/11/2021 - 21:09

    1. Anyone who wants a $204 "new" trumpet, just go and pick one from XYZ seller on eBay or AliExpress. There are actually only a handful of very large brass factories in China and they all put out the same stuff, whether it has a recognisable brand name or not.

    2. The only trumpets that come to mind under $1k in Australia brand new that are made by the factory branded on the instrument are Yamaha (student range), Jupiter (Taiwan), Wisemann (who make a lot of the other brand's trumpets for them) and Besson (student range). Edit: forgot Eastman, newbies on the scene.

    3. This trumpet is bad. The biggest problem is the softness of the brass itself, which makes it very easy to deform and bend out of shape. When you imagine that the piston valves need a very tight tolerance to be air tight, bending the outer valve casings easily destroys the instrument beyond economical repair.

    4. Like others say, if you have $200 and want to play trumpet, go rent one or find a second hand Yamaha/Besson/Jupiter
