Bach trumpets, in general, will be good trumpets. The Omega is sometimes considered an "intermediate" level trumpet, providing a stepping stone between a beginner horn and a Stradivarius professional trumpet. Basically, the Omega model will be a good trumpet for an advanced student who is ready to "move on" from their first trumpet, but may not be willing to spend the money for a professional quality trumpet.
They can make good trumpets, but most of there trumpets are best used for beginner players. I highly recommend Bach especially the Stradivarius.
No. Bach is better
"Nothing wrong with a Bach instrument. Many high school bands here have used them for years." Yes, but the Prelude line is intended for beginners on a tight budget. We have a few in our school district, and they are fine for young students. Bach has a reputation for making great trumpets (I own two myself), and the Stradivarius is their top model. The Omega or Mercedes lines would be fine as intermediate instruments.
The answer is different for every person. The best musicians could play on a Wal Mart special trumpet and make it sound like a Monet. However, for most musicians, the most satisfaction will come from playing a high quality instrument, such as the Bach Stradivarius, or the Yamaha Xeno. Personally, I play a Bach Strad, and love it. However, my trumpet instructor swears by the Yamaha Xeno. There are several other reputable brands available, but I have found these to be the best.

Quote: "The Bach Stradivarius 18037 Lacquer Professional Bb Trumpet is the preferred instrument of most professional players. The Bach Strad trumpet's standard weight body and bell, and standard construction #25 mouthpipe bring depth and color of sound, coupled with the even intonation and response to this instrument. The 18037 Strad Bb Trumpet is one of the most popular of all Bach trumpets for good all-around playing." from: http://www.bizrate.com/orchestral-instruments/bach-180-37-stradivarius-bb-trumpet--pid590421863/

Good luck... Most good condition used Bach Strads will run you between $750 and $1,000 or more. Your best bet would be on eBay, but be cautious... some sellers are not very honest. You should always play a trumpet in person to make sure it's the right trumpet for you.

Many students (myself included), will upgrade to a Bach Stradivarius. If you can find a reputable dealer, you can usually get a used one relatively cheap.For a new intermediate level trumpet, Bach's TR200 line is a good step up from a student horn. If you want some non-Bach choices, I've known people to be very happy with their Getzen and Yamaha trumpets.See the related links section below for some links to manufacturer pages.
The best trumpet is a Bach, i recommend a B flat trumpet made by Yamaha if your not a professional. always go with a B flat trumpet though.
hans garrett stradivarius model is a very good brand
It's a cheap instrument, not a good value. Look for King, Bach, Getzen or Olds trumpets. They are great in quality, especially the vintage ones.
