If you are considering buying a new brass trumpet, it is a good idea to purchase the best that you can afford. Based on your budget, there is a wide range of prices as well as a lot of brand name instruments from which to choose. Occasionally you will be able to find an excellent instrument for a surprisingly good price. Of course the price should not be the main reason for the purchase, but it should be part of the decision.
When purchasing a brass trumpet, for instance, you may want to visit the retail store in your town and do a hands-on trial. That way you will get a better idea of what is out there and what options you have regarding pricing. Most professional and semi-professional musicians know what they like and know where to get what they want in an instrument. Some of them upgrade often and may be willing to sell a good used instrument to an up-and- coming young person
