What are the best brands of trumpet for a student?
I have been shoping on ebay, and I have seen several brands, but the more I see, the more I think I need a little help. I am sure the Rendavaual would have been a steal at $75 or so, but that surly would not have been a horn for a 13 year old boy. I am seeing Olds, Conn, King Clevland, and Bach as the better instruments in my oppinion, but wonder which would be best? Also, it seems that the better horns all have peral valve caps?
If you have no idea of what is a good instrument, why would you go to some place like Ebay? If you don’t know what to buy, why try to shop someplace that is so easy to rip you off? The best answer is to rent first, and then buy. What if your son doesn’t want to play next year? Even if you got some no-name brand like Rendavaual for $75, you have to then try selling it because you aren’t using it, and I doubt you’d get the $75 back for it.
And better horns has nothing to do with the valve caps. That is just where some people have a personal preference of metal or faux pearl under their fingers. There are plenty of pros that play on either, and it has nothing to do with the level of their horn.
Go to a local music store, and rent a trumpet. If your son likes it, most stores have a rent-to-own policy. They will carry quality instruments at reasonable prices. Do not buy ebay, do not buy period.
