Priced for the Beginning Students, the Austin Bazaar Trumpet may be the logical choice for you.
Many parents are concerned about investing in an expensive instrument, not knowing if their child will quickly lose interest. If this turns out to be the case, then you're stuck with a trumpet no one is using!
One parent of a beginning player found out that rental fees - per year - would have cost over $200. A valid concern for investing all that money in a trumpet that wasn't even owned! The parent feels that this trumpet is well worth the investment over the cost of a school rental unit.

The majority of concerns from review posters had to do with sticky valves. One band director was not too pleased with the quality of this instrument and urged parents to invest in a more expensive horn.
There are also 5-Star ratings too! A few feedback providers raved about Austin Bazaar's customer service and are very pleased with their buying experience.
OVERALL ASSESSMENT
The sticky valves may be a concern and worthy of taking note. If still in doubt, ask your local band director for recommendations.
As one parent shared, many graduating student might be interested in selling their trumpet and this could be an excellent way to obtain a higher quality instrument at a great price!
