Where to find a trumpet snake?

Answer 1

Your best choice is to go to a local music store. DONT buy from eBay, because they don't have good quality ones.

As a jazz Trumpet player myself buying a trumpet is a case of your finance and your level of aptitude.

Generally Trumpets come in three flavours Student, intermediate and professional. The cost changes accordingly.

I learned to play when I was a kid using a Skylark trumpet which was a cheap Chinese made instrument. Eventually (After 5 years) it literally fell to pieces. (This cost $10 from a second hand store)

My son has started to learn to play and I have bought him a Yamaha 1335 which is a learners trumpet but has most of the features of a more expensive one. (About $400)

I personally play a 1952 Getzen Super Deluxe Trumpet, A Getzen Sevrinson 1974, a York (B&H stencil), and a Rudy Muck from 1958. However if I had the money available I'd invest in a an Olds super recording trumpet from 1957. These range from about $800 to $1500. These are all old but professional level collectors horns. Modern good brands are Conn, Getzen, Yamaha, Jupiter (A cheap copy of the Yamaha).

You can buy from Ebay, but you have to know what to look for. Many of the legitamate music shops use Ebay to supplement their income and therefore sell reasonable quality instruments. But as the previous poster intimated there are a lot of junk brass instruments out there and they don't all necessarily compe from China.

China assembles almost all the brass instruments in the world for the top named companies in Europe and the states so just saying they are Chinese isn't really a measure of quality. It's whose stamp is on the horn that usually tells you if its worth buying.

Answer 2

bach and Yamaha trumpets are the best to get. plus silver trumpets have better tone quality :)

*SP*

The best type of trumpet to get is considered to be the Bach Stradivarius. That's what I have, and it is great. =)

Actually, that is all a matter of opinion. Bach and Yamaha are very good production instruments, but most custom horns are as good or better. But the main criteria is, whatever fits the player is probably the best choice.
