Good quality from a respected manufacturer of pro-trumpets. This is a ridiculous price for the quality of the trumpet. Not to be confused with other student trumpets at this price range (you know.....the coloured ones!). This is a REAL instrument that is perfectly capable of taking a player potentially up to and including grade 5. Case and mouthpiece included. Everything you need to get blowing. The silver plate adds a durable finish that help keep the trumpet looking newer for longer.
