Trumpet Purchase?

I've been playing trumpet for three and a half years and the used trumpet I originally purchased is beginning to have aspects that impede my playing. I'm in the jazz band at my high school and am the only trumpet player with a brass trumpet. What would you suggest for a second trumpet?

Trumpet Purchase?
So what's wrong with a brass trumpet? Seriously though. If you are the only one with a brass trumpet (can I assume the other trumpet players have silver ones?), you stand out instead of just being part of the crowd. So unless your teacher has suggested a different one, stay with brass.





If you already have a trumpet that you bought used, you may want to "upgrade" and consider buying a new trumpet. Will this purchase be to add to your collection, or are you replacing the old one?





My son (age 9) just started trumpet in school, so we bought him a Yamaha student trumpet. We decided to get the 'premium' model offered by the dealer, and it was still only $500. The deal included the case, a small bottle of valve oil, a cleaning cloth, and a music stand.





This is the way to go.
Reply:There is nothing wrong with a brass trumpet. Silver trumpets, in my opinion are overrated. I have a Pro horn, its brass, I love it. There is nothing at all wrong with playing a brass trumpet. I would look at a King Silver Flair or a Conn 23B or if you want to spend the money a 52B.
Reply:the Yamaha student models are very good, I wouldn't reccomend any particular brand, as it all depends on your own playing and preferences, but the best thing you could do would be to go into a music shop with your favorite mouthpiece, and try out a few trumpets, see which one feels best for you,
