Is this a good trumpet for playing in a beginning orchestra?

My son is in middle school band and he has not had a problem all year with his trumpet. He stated it was just right for him.

Absolutely perfect. No problem playing through three octaves with only minor intonation challenges which a beginner player wouldn't even be able to tell for years. Valves have good action and all the slides worked smoothly. It is absolutely a steal at 120.00. Hope that helps.

Yes. My Grandson was very appreciative I bought the white trumpet for his 7th Grade Band class. Jorge

Definitely. Easy to play and sounds good. Best to start on an instrument such as this which offers quality without breaking the bank.

Yes, you would blow into it like a real instrument. But easy enough for a child to play, since my 3 year olds don't have an issue making sound. And not too loud either.

To be honest, I have not heard the three trumpet ones. But I can assure you that you will not be disappointed with the four horn setup.

No. This is a very basic instrument with no bells or whistles. It was a perfect choice for that purpose when I purchased it.

I think this is a reasonably priced decent Ukelele for beginers. I got one for my teenage son and he has learned a lot on it and seems to enjoy it. Of course like most things you can get a top of a line instrument with added features and all the bells but if you are just trying to learn it and see if you enjoy playing a Ukelele, this is a decent entry level instrument and i don't think you can go wrong with it.

Yeah it has a very good sound... I use this amplifier with a piano and you just need to equalize very good LOW, MID and HIGH depending on the type of instrument you are reproducing. Of course it is small, dont think that you are going to play in a concert with a lot of people, its more like just for you and practice with your band or monitor yourself...

I bought this Trumpet for my son, who tells me it works really well for a practice trumpet when he is on the road with his band yet needs to keep up on his trumpet.

It will only work for you if you are not gonna be a stage performer for at least a year from now. If you are that much amateur that you do not care about impressing the audience, and you only care about learning some basic violin playing techniques, then it's THE BEST for you. On the other hand, if as a stage performer, you want its sound to be impressive from the audience point of view, it will not be the case. Some people say that it is only good for hanging it over your wall for beauty, but I do not agree. It is a real violin, but not a professional one at all. Only works for 1st year learners, but works great for them.

For its price it is a very good clarinet and the sound is very pleasant... it is not a real wood instrument and cannot compete with these but is still very good !

Indeed this instrument is appropriate for high school students. It is a great instrument to start with as you won't regret the costs if the student decides to drop music in the near future. IT should be noted that playing the flute takes some time to master.

Ya I think so. It has a accented high frequency that I think would work good for a trumpet. I usually use it for vocals and acoustic guitars and end up boosting the mid-lows a bit because its a little thin but I think it would be good for a trumpet in my opinion. I havnt tried it for any brass though so this is just a general thought

This instrument would probably good for beginners because of it's sheer simplicity, as it only has six holes. There is a pamphlet that comes with it that describes how to play it, and gives you fingerings for two octaves on the musical staff. It is easy to learn once you get the hang of lip placement on the mouthpiece, and I think that if you were to transition to the flute or piccolo, it would prepare you for the transition, as you would be able to control your tone and airflow better with practice from this instrument.

I haven't had any problems with this violin. Had it for a month now. It is way better than I thought it would be for the price. So yes it's a quality instrument for a beginner.

You should be able to play this if you can play the alto comfortably. My concern is not so much the distance of the holes, but the size of the holes. If you have small hands you may be able to reach the holes but not cover them depending on the size of your fingertips. Be aware, also that this instrument requires a substantial amount of air so you need good lungs. The sound, though, for the price is very satisfying. We have two that we play with our ensembles - everyone else plays wooden recorders, but because of the cost of a wooden bass we've opted to use the Yamahas and haven't been disappointed. It's a good place to start. Good luck and I hope it works for you. You should be able to play this if you can play the alto comfortably.

Absolutely! I am a high school student and the timpani at my school have always sounded terrible with plenty of overtones and awful ringing. We used this on them and they sound better than ever. Timpani are sensitive, especially since they get retuned multiple times within a single song, so they will be out of tune, practically every day. So maintenance is key, keep up with them and they will shine. Also, ours need new heads so that's definitely a factor. In other words, this doesn't solve every single problem, but it does correct a very big one and beautifully at that.

This is a trumpet. It is a very nice instrument. Valves are good and the sound is not bad for a student instrument. It also looks fabulous.
