What a Great Product!

I purchased this trumpet when I was in 5th grade and used it for 7 years (through 11th grade) in concert band, jazz band, and marching band. It worked wonderfully throughout that time. The only reason I switched was to get a higher level instrument to play in college. With proper care (using valve oil once a week and cleaning out instrument about once every two months), it stayed in really good shape. No parts broke despite being used for so many years. The lacquer didn't decay significantly. Overall, I was just really impressed by the level of playing I was able to achieve, from beginning band to my high school's advanced ensembles, all on the same instrument. It lasted quite awhile and was very versatile. Thanks so much for a great product!
