the price was just around $300 and I was about to travel out of the country for a business trip to Saudi Arabia when at the time music was outlawed in public. You know, I did not even know about this horn until I saw it advertised in the AFM trade journal as a good buy and investment in their items review section. Service in Germany is top notch - from the dealers AND said in Best Off-brand Trumpets: Resale is great if they end up in sports programs. My students generally start with a Yamaha 3xxx or 4xxx model.
Vintage instruments may need serious TLC to get the valves tight and slides working smoothly.
If we are considering vintage instruments, there may be a coolness factor but a big disadvantage in ensemble playing. Now, if we are looking for good deals for students, we need to be very clear about the advantages and disadvantages IF that student is going to music school. I am actually allergic the the word “best” because it simply is not a factor, rather an opinion that is generally worthless. Because Monette is not Bach or Yamaha, would that be an off brand?Īre we looking in this thread for good value at a lowest price or innovation at any price? Are we considering dealer support? Financing possibilities? My point is that the term “BEST” is about the WORST description that there is. What does best mean? Good enough? What definition of value do we declare? Resale value, acceptance by teachers, blend with other horns, bling factor for the student? The list goes on and on.
