The only good things were the color is beautiful and the itty bitty paper booklet

so I sent it to my high school sister, and bought different instruments (clarinet and Flute) by the same company Mendini (both which are still in great shape and color)

I asked my sister in 2015 how was the trumpet holding up and she said the sound is great, the color is great, and NO mechanical problems (valve sticking, spit leaking, rough edges, etc) and she recommends it for middle school age kids, I should mention she has been playing since middle school herself and is about to go to college and play for college with the same trumpet, so it must have some level of credibility if her high school and college directors accepted it

It color looked better than I'd imagined.

Beautiful color, no complaints
