@@edmajure210 they might. I tried a Benge once and wasn’t fond of the intonation, but maybe it was just the specific model i tried. They may have good options
I started years ago on a blessing cornet. Not sure if they are still made. It was a wonderful easy blowing instrument for beginners. When I went on to college in the late 1960's I purchased a Bach Strad which I still use. Love your videos. thank you so much for sharing your wisdom
Been watching your videos for a while and love them so much and I even almost got to try your trumpet chat but then I realized that I’m not 18. Thank you so much though for everything you do and I really appreciate it you have helped me progress so much! Keep up the amazing work and i can’t wait for the next video!
I really enjoyed your video on your ten trumpet picks. I have been playing trumpet for sixty plus years. I made my living doing so with my own band in Las Vegas, Reno and Atlantic City. I also own five of your picks plus a LeBlanc trumpet that I used as my main instrument for performing for six decades. Having a good quality horn makes the world of a difference when performing live. Although I was surprised that you did not include, Selmer. I had one that was given to me as a gift but it was stolen from my dressing room at Sam's Town in Las Vegas, Nevada. Out of all the horns that I own, the Selmer had the richest tone quality and play-ability. Oh well, thank you again for posting and looking forward to more of your videos.
Great tour of market of student horns. I have been playing off and on for over 65 years and it was interesting to see many of the horn brands my friends had are still available (excepy my Olds Ambassador). I still play it along with my Grande Prix Selmer, and Back Strad. I recently bought a Jean Paul Flugelhorn and I am impressed at it’s quality, tone, playability, and competitive price.
I had a Yamaha YTR-6345 back in the mid 80s. I LOVED the fullnes and richness of the large bore. It was stolen so I had to go back to my late 70s Bach Stradavarious M37. I love the sound of that horn too, but it just not as free blowing.
My first I instrument was a Selmer cornet. When I started college I moved up to a Schilke designed Yamaha YTR734 professional model trumpet. I highly recommend Yamaha horns. Love your videos!
Thank you for your video. I sing in choir and have been studying music theory and sight singing for over three years now. I love singing but I also love the trumpet. I would like to buy a trumpet and learn to play it so that I can play it at church. I think that music theory and sight singing can be applied to playing the trumpet or any instrument. I used to play the French Horn in high school but that was so long ago. After watching your video, I'm seriously thinking about buying a Yamaha trumpet. I would need a high quality trumpet to play at church. I wonder how long it would take me to learn to play it? I guess that would depend on how much daily practice time I put into it. Thank you again for your video.
My first trumpet was a palantino trumpet and I used it for 6th to half of 8th grade and I still use it for marching band but that old trumpet is rotting away and I need a new student trumpet for marching band because I don’t want to use my concert trumpet which is a Bach LR180S43 but it would be nice to have a new student trumpet
Hey Matt, great information for folks considering starting or re-starting on the trumpet. I had a Conn Director for many years. It was a great horn, but at a point I had to admit to myself that I wasn't playing anymore and there might be someone out there that really wanted one but couldn't afford a new one.
As a former Elementary Music Teacher and trumpet players, I like your list and pretty much agree with the order. Do you Have recommendations on professional trumpets? How would you evaluate, compare, stc. ? What would you look for? Thanks, Mark
Thanks Mark! For professionals, Bach and Yamaha are the industry standards. I personally play on a Bach Stradivarius 37 and you can't go wrong with that
I would agree with Matt on this one. I've had my Yamaha TR734 large bore professional since 1974. I found it had much freer airflow than the Stradivarius or Benge.
I see that Matt mentioned he plays on a Bach Stradivarius. I also have one. They are excellent. They are on the heavy side. I have a Bach Chicago "C" trumpet that is very light which is interesting. A brand that is NOT mentioned enough is Stomvi. I have a Stomvi E Flat/D trumpet and I can't tell much, or any, difference between it and the Schilke that everyone so desperately wants. But the Stomvi costs less.. Stomvi has a full range and are made in Spain of all places.
Thanks for all your advice and insights. Being on the come-back trail I appreciate your tips on developing practice regimen. Something I realized was that after 40 years I have to go back to the Rubank Elementary Book for a while. There's a reason those exercises are designed as they are.
Here is a RUclips of Alison Balsom (high end professional classical soloist) testing one. She seems to do pretty well with one. ruclips.net/video/NLAHSgZaMU0/видео.html
Good advice there, Matt. As I am in Australia, some of those brands are not available. The Yamahas certainly a cut above for beginning trumpet players. Your video has given me the idea to record a similar comparison of horns that are available here. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Cheers!
I'm a mom and I'm buying for my middle schooler first time band, and I'm still confused but encouraged than you so much for the help in picking I just hope she likes what I pick❤
One way to make an easy pick is just go for the Yamaha model suggested. It is a very good value. There are dozens of other good choices, but you won't go wrong with the Yamaha as they have decent, and very consistent, quality. Also, as a student progresses, you can always get something else later. And if the student loses interest (it happens) you won't have spent three thousand dollars on something.
Great information sir! Your making me get that "itch" to get back on my cornet and Bass Trumpet! I need to watch some of your videos first,and then its time to get back on that horse! Damn you Sir,Damn You!!!LOL!!!
Shires are great! Only didn't include them because they're on the pricier side so I wouldn't recommend to someone just starting out. But if you can afford it, sure!
I just bought a $230 trumpet of Facebook Marketplace. It sounds bad... but its not. It's Bach TR-300 that was used for only about a month because the previous owners kid quit band and they needed to get rid of it. I got lucky. Im a freshman flute is learning brass for dci purposes in the coming years
I'm giving away a free beginner trumpet to a random person who leaves a comment on this video! 👇
I really enjoyed your breakdown on the top ten beginner trumpets Matt! Thanks!
Matt, does Benge have a beginner model?
@@edmajure210 Thanks for the comment!
@@edmajure210 they might. I tried a Benge once and wasn’t fond of the intonation, but maybe it was just the specific model i tried. They may have good options
@@edmajure210 from what i heard, older Benge trumpets are great, before they started to be mass produced

I have an old Conn Director, but the tuning slide is frozen. I would love a new horn!
Nice!
Thank you, Matt for all of your videos! They’ve really helped me through my trumpet journey, I hope to one day be as good as you! 🎺🎺

It was a great horn, but at a point I had to admit to myself that I wasn't playing anymore and there might be someone out there that really wanted one but couldn't afford a new one.
Nice! And thanks for watching :)
I have the Jean Paul TR-430 and love it! It's easy to play and not heavy.
Nice!

sounds nice maybe I wii start up again , I gave my away to a new beginner, it was a Selmer and I miss its sound, thank you, Jim Burke!
Hope you do play again!
Sweet 10:44 I play French horn in concert band and mellophone in marching but I play trumpet in jazz and I can’t stop thinking about how fun it is
Nice!
Nice video . I enjoyed seeing your picks and order you listed them. A few I never heard of too.
Glad you learned something today!
What are your thoughts on any plastic trumpet?
Plastic trumpets aren't there yet.
Some of them actual sound decent. But I wouldn't recommend it for the long term
Here is a RUclips of Alison Balsom (high end professional classical soloist) testing one. She seems to do pretty well with one. ruclips.net/video/NLAHSgZaMU0/видео.html

Lots of good information. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed
What about a good starting trumpet for some one old but still brand new?
A really great and informative video. I truly enjoyed it and made it easy to make a choice.
I am looking for an intermediate trumpet for my daughter. Any suggestions?
Thank you soo much for the information am a beginner trumpet player from Africa looking for a good trumpet to start with
Great video, Matt and a nice line of horns! 🎺🤩🎶
Thanks!
I think that for Schilke 14A4a is the number for one of their mouthpieces, not a trumpet model.
Great list. Good Information
Appreciate it
Great information sir! Your making me get that "itch" to get back on my cornet and Bass Trumpet! I need to watch some of your videos first,and then its time to get back on that horse! Damn you Sir,Damn You!!!LOL!!!
Yes do it!!
Thanks for the info. I'm looking to buy a Yamaha
Nice! Best of luck :)
I'm surprised you didn't include S.E. Shires in the list. It's been great for my development as a high school trumpet player
Shires are great! Only didn't include them because they're on the pricier side so I wouldn't recommend to someone just starting out. But if you can afford it, sure!
I’ve been a Bach guy for years, but started out with a beat up Buddy cornet many years ago.
Wow 🎉 can never go wrong with Yamaha trumpet
So many wonderful options 🎺 💯🙏
🙌
Can never go wrong with a Yamaha
Industry standard!
I need that trumpet! Thank you in advance!
Thanks for stopping by!
Great video I still have a York from when I began 1959
Nice!
I really want to learn the Yamaha trumpet
Yk I'd be really worried if my trumpet didn't come with a mouthpiece or case also it needs valve oil and slide grease to work straight out of the box
I really want to learn
I started YTR-2335 so I already knew Yamaha makes the best beginner trumpets!
Nice! Lucky you!
I like the yamaha horns for consistency and quality
I just bought a $230 trumpet of Facebook Marketplace.
It sounds bad... but its not. It's Bach TR-300 that was used for only about a month because the previous owners kid quit band and they needed to get rid of it.
I got lucky.
Im a freshman flute is learning brass for dci purposes in the coming years
im just starting in band
I used to have a Holton Al Hirt Special. Enjoyed it until I gave it away to another budding trumpet player after I bought my Blessing trumpet.
Nice! My first trumpet was a Blessing :)
You said pretty much the same thing for every single trumpet on here and I can't even find the schilke model that you mentioned
Yamaha YTR-2330 is a good trumpet. I call it "workhorse" , but f.ex. YTR-4335GII is still better...
cool
You already give that trumpet away??
The Bach is the best trumpet, Because the bracing is more durable than the Yamaha. The Bach is double braced all throughout the entire instrument.
