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

Very nice trumpet very good color feels great in your hand the only problemi have with it is the 1st & 2nd values will be sticking no natter how much values oil I out

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)

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

He's a 2nd year trumpet player, and just wanted something "cool looking" and well-built, and we definitely got both when made this purchase

If your looking for a trumpet that sounds good, keeps it shine, and doesn't get the mouth piece

I was hesitant to buy this trumpet after looking at all the negative rivews

It is very nice looking and the case is very handy and well made

Came fast, in a nice black case, overall look of trumpet is great

Perfect starter trumpet, good tone...even approved by a very picky director!

It's a solid starter instrument that is absolutely what he needed

My sons band teacher was impressed with what a great starter trumpet this is for such a great price!

Even if we retire it from service, it will still be beautiful to look at, or be a good starter trumpet for the next kid.

This is a perfect starter kit for any kid that is looking to become the next big thing

It was a great value and my son has loved the color(it's his school color).

This is an awesome trumpet and great value for your money

Great value for the price, particularly considering how much it would have cost to lease one from the school for over $300.00.

Looks and works as well as if I bought it from a music store.

I do not play trumpet, but both my sons who do say it has a good sound and is easy to play.

Sound is great and the blue is a absolutely what she wanted

The pads stick occasionally (what trumpet doesn't), but the sound is still great

The valves work nicely, the sound is not bad and the finish looks great.

this is more of a practice trumpet, but sound is good, although a little quiet

Besides, this trumpet is of good quality for a beginner- good tone, works great, and looks like a much more expensive model- more than you usually get from a old, used beginner instrument anyway

Bought this trumpet for my daughters 6th grade band as this company stated this was a great beginners trumpet

This is a solid quality product - nothing fancy, but a good beginner instrument

Our daughter took it to her band director and he didn't recommend this product for our daughter (a beginner) because he said it was made in China

I would suggest this as a great beginner trumpet for grades 3-8.

My daughter loves it it is the second one that I have purchased from you all they have both been great my son now plays the first one we bought we handed it down to him and my daughter has a red

My daughter purchased this trumpet for high school band

Looks and works as well as if I bought it from a music store.

the trumpet was for my grand daughter rather than rent one for $30 a month.

Good price and quality for beginning to intermediate player.

The price is cheaper than renting or buying a used one

It definitely a professional product and the price was a steal!

High quality, great performance trumpet at a reasonable price

That said, we were thrilled with this alternative to the local music store's ridiculous lease program and pricing on new instruments

My son has now been playing this trumpet for a year and a half

My son fell down three stairs and the trumpet (still in its case) hit him in the head

My Son loves it therefore I am happy about the product.

My son gets very frustrated with the sticking valve while he is practicing.

My son is very happy with this, has everything you need to get stared.

I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a beautiful instrument on a budget

This is a solid quality product - nothing fancy, but a good beginner instrument

After playing for only a month,the valve spring retainers broke and when I took it to my local instrument repair shop they refused to repair it as they stated was a very cheap product

I would recommend this product to any middle student who is just starting out.

product!This could be a very disappointing and frustrating buy for a beginner trumpet.

He evaluated this horn, and was very quick to point out that this is in fact a very cheap construction instrument, nevertheless, it was more than enough in order to get going

So far, it is a good instrument for me to start playing trumpet again

This is a solid quality product - nothing fancy, but a good beginner instrument

I bought this instrument for my son and the valves are completely broken after two weeks

Pros:-Cheap instrument, does the job for beginner trumpet players.-Decent sound, I've seen my teacher playing great stuff with this thing

I won't go into all the details, but worst is the quality of the craftsmanship on the instruments.

A little bit more expensive but much better quality, my daughter used hers for many years before upgrading to a professional grade trumpet.

Music store could not repair it because of poor quality.

This is a very good quality Trumpet, it came quickly and worked well for a first time student instrument.

My grandson and his teacher found it to be very good quality.

I thought the case was hard,but the soft case was just as good.

It is very nice looking and the case is very handy and well made

Came fast, in a nice black case, overall look of trumpet is great

Some other minor things is that the case it comes with is very crappy

In addition, the trumpet comes with a decent case, valve oil, a pair of white gloves, instruction book, and, an electronic tuner.

Looks and works as well as if I bought it from a music store.

It has a cheap material and the mouthpiece started to wear off

Most don't like to work on them because of the poor materials and construction

The valves stick constantly and the material is terrible

After playing for only a month,the valve spring retainers broke and when I took it to my local instrument repair shop they refused to repair it as they stated was a very cheap product

The local repair places in my area won't guarantee the repair off-brand instruments because the repairs don't hold

Fortunately we have access to a "cheap" repair person who fixed the problem for 20

Looks and works as well as if I bought it from a music store.

It spends more time in the repair shop than in the student's hands.....that is if you can FIND a reputable repair shop to repair it!
