... very first purchase from Amazon and by far the best purchased I've made

My very first purchase from Amazon and by far the best purchased I've made. My son has been using this for marching band which ended about 6 months ago and still is using it. Knock on wood he still loves it, and it still works.

I bought this as a cheap alternative beginner horn like several others

UPDATE!!! Originally I gave this a 2 star review. The product seemed okay at first but then I realized it wasn't just me, as stated in the original review below. I couldn't get in touch with the seller as it bounced back email wise saying they'd only get it in their Amazon email -- psh, like I believed they'd see that. Well they saw it (or my review). Either way they got in touch with me -- gave me pointers on adjusting the valves and while it fixed one; the other just seemed wrong still. I think it was honstly just off -- makes horrible noises when it should just be smooth. So they offered to ship a new one with return label for the other (no cost)! It got here already and it's whole different horn! Feels great. I played for an hour because it just felt so right. I'm very pleased and I feel like the seller is there for me if something were to come up yet again. They were very responsive and quick to get the problem resolved, AND I learned a few things about adjusting valves! :) I look forward to playing and have the confidence I have support behind the horn should something else come up at all. LOVE IT. ORIGINAL REVIEW (2 stars): I bought this as a cheap alternative beginner horn like several others. I was quite surprised when it arrived as it comes in a nice carry case with gloves/cleaning cloth and oil (just as advertised). The trumpet itself actually looks very nice and has a feel to it that isn't as cheap as I was expecting. It feels about as any other trumpet might in weight and durability. Unfortunately I have had trouble with sticky valves. Valve 3 was the most noticeable at first but it seems 1 and 3 are consistantly not making it all the way back up before I'm on to the next note. Unfortunately for my dog, neighbors, and poor husband this sound horrendous beyond beginner trumpet as a suddenly drop G to C or can't make the drop either. I have tried oiling the valves and even a full clean and oil. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to help. I'm contacting the seller -- I'm hoping there is some trick/fix but knowing how instruments come with very touchy tolerances -- I'm not thinking there will be an easy answer. While it is affordable and looks pretty great -- it's almost unplayable. :(

It's cheap - but it works great.

Well my son joined band for the first time last year, and I didn't want to drop a ton of cash on an expensive trumpet in the event that he decided to quit in the first few months, so I bought this one instead. It's already been a whole school year and he's had zero problems with it. For the price it cant be beat, glad I decided to give this a try.

Great beginner trumpet

This is a VERY good quality trumpet for a beginner. The case and accessories are top notch. It is light weight , but this was good for our grand daughter to handle. It has a nice tone and is easy to "tune" . I would definitely buy this again.

I can believe it only cost 100 bucks

My son has been playing piano and clarinet for years and wanted to try something different. He has never played trumpet before. I found this one on amazon for just 100 bucks and think it worth a try as my son might give up quickly and it will be a wasted. When I received it, I can't believe the quality of this only cost 100. My has been playing with it for 3 weeks and he loves it. He plays few hours a day whenever he has spare time. Now he can play at least 2 full octave from G to the 3rd G (G5?). I'm not a musician nor instrument technician, but I can tell the built quality is good and it will work for at least beginners.

GREAT quality instrument.

This is a wonderfully made and affordable instrument. In fact, this cost less then what it would have cost us to rent a Trumpet for a year so I took a chance and bought it. We wanted to rent first because kids say they want to play or do something but end up changing their mind so we thought renting would be better for the first year. Sadly, in our area there are less and less places to buy/rent band equipment for kids. Paying over 150.00 for 8 months of renting an instrument isn't too bad BUT when you can buy a quality instrument for pennies more if not less than rental charges and not have to deal with renting contracts, returning the rental, and all for getting a very used, banged up instrument...it's a no brainer! Even my son's band instructor was impressed with the sound and all around quality of this Trumpet! He really was against us buying a Trumpet and he was even more against it when we told him the price of this one. Once he saw it and heard the sound he was quite pleased with our purchase! He said the sound was good, it not better then the more expensive well-known brand instruments! The case for this is soft but nicely padded for protection on the inside and very lightweight for easy transport! My son loves that he can use the case in a backpack style because he always has so much to carry. The trumpet itself looks (to me) like an extremely well made expensive one but at a fraction of the cost. I know nothing about instruments so my son's band instructor was our best bet for advisement as far as what kind of Trumpet would be best for a student. Again, he did not recommend purchasing an instrument so we did take a chance buying this. The reviews for this were all very good and they were all right in my opinion! This comes with absolutely everything my son needs to start playing and I think (or at least hope) he will get quite a few years of use out of this. This instrument is a WIN-win!!!

STUNNING TRUMPET!!!

My husband has been playing trumpet for 15 years. He has owned a Bach, several student models, and even a Holton model. He said this trumpet has very smooth airflow, the valves are heavy duty and great quality. The trumpet is solid and not at all flimsy. The finish is beautiful. It has a copper lead pipe. He said its a beautiful horn! He was very impressed!! He will be using this during his Church Christmas concerts. He played it immediately and this trumpet has such a loud sound and great sound quality! When I buy off of amazon I always go straight for the highest rated reviews. Some of the reviews for this trumpet said it was garbage and the valves were junk. I was soooo nervous buying it. I was afraid I bought a crap horn and my husband wouldnt like it. Absolutely not. My husband isnt a beginner player and this trumpet sounds beautiful! If your nervous about the cecilio, dont be! You will be impressed!

Really Pretty & Works Perfectly

We bought this for our 11 (now 12 year old) for his first year of beginner band. We weren't positive he'd stick with it so we thought for the price, this trumpet was a good choice. We also didn't want to get roped into leasing one. He's more than half way through the school year and the trumpet has held up really well, it looks and sounds great. We've never had an issue with it. The case is super nice also. The case is lightweight with a long shoulder strap which makes it easy for him to take back and forth to school everyday. I'm happy with this purchase. This is a good starter trumpet for a kid without much of a financial investment.

Perfect for Band Students

LOVE this trumpet! I bought two of them for my daughter and niece (both 11) who joined band this year. They both said they like these better than the Jupiter brand (really expensive) trumpets they were renting from the school's supplier. Lighter weight and plays beautifully. If you are shopping for a student, I HIGHLY recommend this trumpet! The case is very sturdy, too.
