    I bought this for my daughter. I was surprised at the quality. Originally I intended to purchase a different brand, but it was sold out. I saw this and was grateful for the savings (it was about $100 less than the one I originally intended to purchase), but I assumed it was probably lower quality, I could not have been more wrong. This is a beautiful trumpet, sturdy, red brass, everything we needed it to be and more. The case is really nice and comes with a shoulder strap. Requires no cleaner (don't use cleaner on it!!) so clean water and the soft cloth provided do just what is needed to keep the surface beautiful. The keys have an amazingly smooth action. Her dad is impressed and he is a professional player, having spent thousands of dollars on professional trumpets, this is by far one of the nicest students trumpets he has seen.

  • Great purchase!

    The smile on my daughters face was worth the price alone. She loves having another trumpet. Her first was a rental, then we bought her a Pocket trumpet. This ETR 200 looks great, and she says it sounds great too. She likes the case that came with it as well. Good price and received quite promptly. Packaged with care. This trumpet is great for beginners or more advanced students without breaking the bank.

  • I would recommend this one without hesitation.

    As a beginner I got this one for price and I love the red brass appearance. To be sure it is precisely as in their photo though the description seams to indicate that the bell is red as is the lead pipe. Not to worry , I love it and will not likely get a more expensive trumpet.

    Is it good for middle school and high school band and will it last

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    The Etude ETR-200 Series Student Bb Trumpet (Lacquer finish) is a popular entry-level trumpet designed specifically for beginners. Here’s a breakdown of how it fits the needs of middle and high school band students and whether it’s built to last: Pros (Why It Can Be Good for Middle/High School) Affordable: One of the most budget-friendly trumpets, making it a good choice for beginners or families unsure about long-term commitment. Lightweight and Easy to Play: Designed with students in mind—easy to hold and blow, which encourages good early habits. Decent Build for Beginners: The valves generally work well enough for beginner-level use if maintained properly. Cons (Where It Falls Short) Durability Concerns: Made from cheaper materials than intermediate/pro-level instruments. More prone to dents and valve issues over time, especially under heavy student use. Limited Sound Quality: It can sound thin compared to better instruments, which might be noticeable as students progress. Not Ideal for Long-Term Use: By late middle school or early high school (especially in more serious programs), many students will outgrow it musically and technically. Good for: 6th–8th grade beginners, or short-term use in less competitive school bands. Not ideal for: Advanced middle schoolers, serious high school players, or students planning to stick with trumpet long-term.

    How do I get parts for this? Bought new for my daughter and the valves clack away after half school year of use. My local guitar center is clueless what to do as it is not a guitar (that is where we bought it).
