Hi Trent my name is Noah and I play euphonium and seeing you inspires me to play play and play I'm currently in 10 grade and it's been my dream to own my own euphonium and to play in a professional marching and symphonic/orchestral band and watching your video helps my dream because I know one day I want to be as good as you thank you for your videos btw they all help me
My mom was gonna buy me a trumpet because it would be cheaper to get one than keep renting mine, so I think I will get one of these thanks, awesome vid
Rosebrass lead pipes actually do make a difference. The higher copper content in the brass slows down the corrosion process that happens in all leadpipes.
@@MiraDaWulf Or you know, it's a good trumpet from a small company and you're just too ignorant to try one for yourself? Yeah, that sounds more likely.
Trent, I just got a TR330 for my daughter, who is starting up with band this school year. I have a music degree myself (horn), but have played trumpet for many years as well. This instrument plays as well if not better than mainstream brand beginner outfits, IMHO. I absolutely recommend this as an affordable starter instrument for kids just starting out in band...
I have purchased this in silver and now they are gold plating the inside of the bell in gold! Very sharp looking. I use to play a 1937 Conn that looked similar.
Thanks for the recommendation! I have grandchildren getting old enough to start band in school and am not there to help with choosing instruments (i have a music degree as a band director, frankly unused.). Now I know who to tell my daughter to use for getting them if the kids like band.
Perfect. Answers the question that I had. I was looking for a "family trumpet" so my 6yo can try it out, and for myself (lower brass player) and 14yo to mess with (French horn player). Thanks and great videos, Trent!
I have owned hte TR430 for 3 months. It is as described-a good looking instrument that plays well. The only issue I had was in the second week one of the pearl valve finger buttons fell off. (I superglued it back on. So far it has stayed on.)
A bit much Trent. One thing that I am convinced of after hearing and seeing your entire review. is your excited about your connection with the Jean Paul people. You made two salient points that are important as far as not getting stuck with a non repairable trumpet shaped object: pre-testing is done with every horn and there is a twelve month guarantee. This is important, but does not cover other elements concerning a horn purchase that are also elemental. One of these is , of course, tonal properties...how well does the instrument play in 'tune with itself', the amount of correction needed through use of the 3rd and/or1st valve slides, and/or lipping. Since its an intermediate model one also has to determine how free flowing, or stuffy the horn is, efficacy in both the lower and upper register, does it have a solid 'core', how well does it project, mouthpiece sensitive? Does it qualify more as a solo, jazz or orchestral player, or for that matter will it blend in with the ever and over populating Bach horns? Okay, its ridiculous to have to cover all the bases, but if you are going to promote a horn for folk that have fewer dollars to spend, when each fin is dear, its imperative that you do not overdo the appearance of things and under explore the value of the horn's musicality and mechanics. BTW, what are the valves made of and how available are replacements for them...and other parts in case repair is needed? Last point, the red or sometimes called rose brass and interchangeably w/gold , has only half the amount of zinc that yellow brass does and is often used for lead pipes as it is the zinc content that is the determinant of red rot. In short, it is not a cosmetic, but rather a horn longevity choice. I do agree however, it makes for an attractive horn.
My girlfriend currently owns this trumpet. I have almost 6 years of trumpet experience, and boy, is this amazing. No joke, I'm strongly considering switching out my 400$ trumpet for this guy. The case is very light but durable, the valves are soooo smooth, and the rose color, whether or not being practical, are mesmerizing. I strongly recommend this
Thanks a bunch for this. I'm a saxophonist/Multi-instrumentalist and I've wanted to play the trumpet since middle school, but my teacher gave my a tuba instead. Which was cool, but not necessarily what I wanted. I've been looking around for decent beginner/intermediate trumpet for a few years now, and I am most likely going to pick up the one you are playing in the video, hopefully in the near future. Need to get another job first...hahaha.
I will be looking into these for a marching trumpet, as not to trash my expensive, American, name brand horn. These appear to have good performance at a sound price. I understand this is a sponsored video, and I applaud you for making this so blatantly obvious, but the ideology is solid and the price is good to match. I noticed that these folks do not have a trombone model for sale currently (that or I could not find it.), and I have been looking into purchasing a budget trombone to mess around with (primary instrument is trumpet, interested in learning other brass). What would you recommend for that? I have been spying the Etude ETB100, which sits around $110, and I've heard good things about it. Thank you all for your responses, and thank you for making this video.
I went a similar route with my first trombone and a german reseller. Worked out nicely, even though I upgraded to a used Bach, once i was sure I'd keep playing.
After all that love and all that playing, you chip the very last note! I like the video, though--It's always nice to find new quality and affordable instruments for my students!
I wish I knew this 6 years ago when I bought my trumpet... I spent ~$500 on a Selmer-Conn Prelude. It's not bad (everything works and stuff) but I could have saved $200 with this one. As for starting on a crappy instrument: I totally agree. I started out on a Bundy Clarinet and it was such a chore to play it (I did go from 2nd to last chair to first chair in the beginning band on it). When I was assigned an E-11 (intermediate Buffet clarinet) it felt so much better. I was lucky my parents shelled out $2000 for an R-13 (the standard professional level Buffet clarinet) for high school. I definitely wouldn't have enjoyed band as much if I had to use a crappy instrument the entire time (I still used a Buffet B-12 synthetic clarinet for marching band but those are pretty high quality for their cost).
I have a barrington model student trumpet made by L.A. Sax that I got from my local music store, which I’m currently renting for about $150 for this year. The quality is pretty good, but the differences are is that there is no D slide water key, and there’s no hook on the first valve tuning slide.
I've got a windsor trumpet which I think comes from the same company. It does everything I need and plays well apart from one problem in that I struggle to make it a Bb instrument as its supposed to be. I have to up lip most of the time to achieve this. What I now do is pull the slides out a bit, call it an A instrument and transpose the music accordingly.
@@TrentHamilton Thank you for replying. A 7C. I play the clarinet and a few other instruments. I've just started learning the trumpet and not finding it too difficult apart from getting the over all pitch right. Its certainly fun playing such a powerful instrument!
Can you make a video on the difference between silver and lacquered instruments? Is there a reason to pick silver other than its looks and "it's more expensive"?
can you make a trombone tutorial series for a brass player? i'm trying to learn but all tutorials are just telling me how to blow through my lips. i play tuba and trumpet already.
i have an Etude trumpet with the same rose brass lead pipe and it plays fantastic but the only problem is the fact that the valves were a little heavy though it would be cool if the entire trumpet was rose brass
Hi Trent. Great video. I actually looked at this trumpet on Amazon but in the silver. I'm older trying to get back into playing trumpet. My orignal horn is an Olds Ambassador which is in rough shape. I went to a near by music store and did a hands on comparison. I played a Bach, a Yamaha, a Allora and a Jupiter. I liked the Jupiter best being an intermediate horn. It felt good and had a good tone. It was a reverse pipe but has stanless steel valves. I' ve read some reviews which say only get monel valves. How does the Jean Paul compare to the Jupiter?
Thanks, this is really helpful, I play flute and tuba and I'm wantong to get a trumpet in hopes that my higher register on tuba might be a little easier to play.
hey, just a tip, at 10:04, your articulations seemed quite ''fluttery''. Don't know if it was a tongue or finger issue or what, but regardless, you're pushing that valves with pretty flat fingers. You can't attack as great playing like that as you can with a more C-shaped hand.
OK MR. Technical. Typical hobbyist comment I read on Trumpet sites. Playing in church once a week doesn't qualify you to be critical of a professional.
When I grow up im gonna send you so much stuff to talk about youtube will be ur next job and you will be paid millions to talk about instruments and music in general and you will be the king of .... idk what but you will be king of something! Maybe king of instruments?
Years ago HP had a reputation for the most reliable calculators. What they did was to make sure it worked before they shipped it. Everyone else sent out their products without and quality control. I wonder what the reject rate is.
I bought an intermediate trumpet from Jean Paul a year or so ago. I have had nothing but problems with the slides and valves being sticky and unresponsive. I tried a better valve oil than the one that came with it and this helped a great deal. I am still having problems with it though and plan to deep clean it. I have never done this before so it will be a new experience. I hope this will fix things. Do you have any other suggestions? I am a beginning player so sticky slides and valves have desperately stunted my growth with this instrument. I went to New Orleans recently and my buddy and I went to a music store where I tried a trumpet that did not have valve problems. Man, talk about night and day!
Trent, I'm so glad you made this video. I've been looking into buying a trumpet because I would like to learn, and this video seems to have found it for me. One question, is the intermediate level trumpet going be harder to play for a beginner, or would it be better in every way?
Can you go into more detail about what makes good quality a brass instrument "beginner," "intermediate," or "professional?" From your review here I can't imagine anything being worth 10x as much as the intermediate Jean Paul.
I don't know much about trumpets but this type of stuff always has diminishing returns. The value doesn't scale linearly with price, so the higher in quality you go the more you are going to have to pay for the smallest increase--and even then, a lot of that perceived higher quality can end up being personal preference or some other purely psychological difference.
What are good average vintage trumpets from the 1950 to 1980s before China turned up on the scene. Any good European makes like Besson, Selmer etc. I noticed when i was learning the Sax i had a cheap end market sax ( not Chinese) but i felt the instrument was holding me back, so i bought the top of the range Selmer so i couldn't blame the instrument only myself, i also noticed the difference in a top end quality instrument. I assume the same is with a trumpet which i am learning but need to upgrade as i notice my 1960s east German trumpet does hold me back on notes etc.
i just got mine (not 4 valve i can upgraded after 6 months) but it wasn't used and was $2500 i don't know if thats good for you. (every euphoniums players in my band use the same brand and type)
I own a Schiller 4 valve compensating euphonium. I got it for $1000 new and it works very well :) Very glad i bought this over a Yamaha 4 valve that isn't even compensating. It's called Schiller Elite btw.
Yamaha YTR 4335, produced in China... Works good.. Most beginner trumpets I guess should be from China... Guy have some problém with China.. 😉 Look around your self, what is not from China.. I also recommend B&S trumpets.. Forget plastic ones, however appriciated from someone... Cheap one (absolutely cheap) , is not a way.. I was struglling with cheap sax, and do not know, my fault or instrument.. Better nothing than scrap..
Great Video, Trent. Here is a mouth piece question for you, is there much of a difference in comfort in 1 1/2 c versus a 3 c? What to you think the pros and cons are of the 1/1/2 C versus the 3c I currently play? I am an advance trumpet player looking for a bit more comfort and wondering if there is a noticeable difference. I understand you have to actually try it, but can't find any shop that allows this? Your expert opinion is appreciated. Thanks, Robert
Hi Trent, it's not related to this particular video, but I wanted to ask you something: What is the point of more than 4 valves on a tuba? I understand how compensating valves work and the necessity of 4 valves when playing low, but I've seen tubas with 5,6, and even 7 valves and they seem redundant to me.
They're for use on non-compensating systems. It's not very common for rotary valved instruments to have compensating mechanisms, so they make up for this by having extra valves.
I can't imagine anything being better for the $ than a King 600. If taken car of, they will last indefinitely, and are durable enough to entrust to a child.
Going through the Jean Paul website, I'm seeing very little in the way of actual instrument specifications: bore size, bell size, etc. They advertise their trombones as coming with valve oil, which really isn't what you want to be using on a slide. Could just be that they don't sell many of them or don't have expertise in them like they do their other instruments. Would be curious to see how they play, but for $350, it's way easier to recommend a used Yamaha YSL-354 or King 606 to a beginner.
hey trent picked this new trumpet cause the used blessing cornet i have has a leak inside valve airpassage (2nd valve). the new one is supposed to be intermediate but the valve locks( plastic notch thing attached to spring) do not funtion like the blessing- the smaller notch allowing the vavlve to seat only one way. the new horn will seat 180 deagres the wrong way allowing no air to pass at all. the make is millbrook. im sending it back and am going to instead look for used valves for the blessing. i kind of like small bore . i think its the mileage. it says propererty of NYc schoolboard . please check it out and debunk. thanks
We had problems with Yamaha 5335gsii, had to return the first one that had black mould on inner valve. Second one developed discolouration like rust and black dots inside the valves after couple of months storage. Also had valves sticking that has never been experienced on other trumpets. It was sent back to Yamaha UK for analysis on the discolouration but they had lapped the middle valve with informing that was felt inappropriate for a new trumpet. It is being being returned for refund so almost two years of wasted time in not playing it and getting on with life. Do not recommend Yamaha at the moment.

Note the Chinese manufacturer is Jean Baptiste. See the connection to Jean Paul?
A bit much Trent. One thing that I am convinced of after hearing and seeing your entire review. is your excited about your connection with the Jean Paul people. You made two salient points that are important as far as not getting stuck with a non repairable trumpet shaped object: pre-testing is done with every horn and there is a twelve month guarantee.
This is important, but does not cover other elements concerning a horn purchase that are also elemental. One of these is , of course, tonal properties...how well does the instrument play in 'tune with itself', the amount of correction needed through use of the 3rd and/or1st valve slides, and/or lipping. Since its an intermediate model one also has to determine how free flowing, or stuffy the horn is, efficacy in both the lower and upper register, does it have a solid 'core', how well does it project, mouthpiece sensitive? Does it qualify more as a solo, jazz or orchestral player, or for that matter will it blend in with the ever and over populating Bach horns?

Last point, the red or sometimes called rose brass and interchangeably w/gold , has only half the amount of zinc that yellow brass does and is often used for lead pipes as it is the zinc content that is the determinant of red rot. In short, it is not a cosmetic, but rather a horn longevity choice. I do agree however, it makes for an attractive horn.

What are good average vintage trumpets from the 1950 to 1980s before China turned up on the scene. Any good European makes like Besson, Selmer etc. I noticed when i was learning the Sax i had a cheap end market sax ( not Chinese) but i felt the instrument was holding me back, so i bought the top of the range Selmer so i couldn't blame the instrument only myself, i also noticed the difference in a top end quality instrument. I assume the same is with a trumpet which i am learning but need to upgrade as i notice my 1960s east German trumpet does hold me back on notes etc.
Any similar companies for concert euphoniums? Preferably 4 valve?
i just got mine (not 4 valve i can upgraded after 6 months) but it wasn't used and was $2500 i don't know if thats good for you. (every euphoniums players in my band use the same brand and type)
I own a Schiller 4 valve compensating euphonium. I got it for $1000 new and it works very well :) Very glad i bought this over a Yamaha 4 valve that isn't even compensating. It's called Schiller Elite btw.
Mack Brass - www.mackbrass.com/MACK-EU1150_Comp.php
That's a professional 4-valve compensating euphonium for $1000. I have that model and I love it.
Wessex Tubas - www.wessex-tubas.com/euphonium/
It's similar to Mack Brass, but this has a water key on the 2nd valve tubing, which I just love.
Yamaha YTR 4335, produced in China... Works good.. Most beginner trumpets I guess should be from China... Guy have some problém with China.. 😉 Look around your self, what is not from China.. I also recommend B&S trumpets.. Forget plastic ones, however appriciated from someone... Cheap one (absolutely cheap) , is not a way.. I was struglling with cheap sax, and do not know, my fault or instrument.. Better nothing than scrap..
Great Video, Trent. Here is a mouth piece question for you, is there much of a difference in comfort in 1 1/2 c versus a 3 c? What to you think the pros and cons are of the 1/1/2 C versus the 3c I currently play? I am an advance trumpet player looking for a bit more comfort and wondering if there is a noticeable difference. I understand you have to actually try it, but can't find any shop that allows this? Your expert opinion is appreciated. Thanks, Robert
HOLY SHIT MY BAND DIRECTOR HAS THIS TRUMPET
Hi Trent, it's not related to this particular video, but I wanted to ask you something: What is the point of more than 4 valves on a tuba? I understand how compensating valves work and the necessity of 4 valves when playing low, but I've seen tubas with 5,6, and even 7 valves and they seem redundant to me.
They're for use on non-compensating systems. It's not very common for rotary valved instruments to have compensating mechanisms, so they make up for this by having extra valves.
+Trent Hamilton very neat! So which do you prefer? Piston or Rotary?
Chinese guarantee: It break, you keep both half.
I can't imagine anything being better for the $ than a King 600. If taken car of, they will last indefinitely, and are durable enough to entrust to a child.
Going through the Jean Paul website, I'm seeing very little in the way of actual instrument specifications: bore size, bell size, etc. They advertise their trombones as coming with valve oil, which really isn't what you want to be using on a slide. Could just be that they don't sell many of them or don't have expertise in them like they do their other instruments. Would be curious to see how they play, but for $350, it's way easier to recommend a used Yamaha YSL-354 or King 606 to a beginner.
hey trent picked this new trumpet cause the used blessing cornet i have has a leak inside valve airpassage (2nd valve). the new one is supposed to be intermediate but the valve locks( plastic notch thing attached to spring) do not funtion like the blessing- the smaller notch allowing the vavlve to seat only one way. the new horn will seat 180 deagres the wrong way allowing no air to pass at all. the make is millbrook. im sending it back and am going to instead look for used valves for the blessing. i kind of like small bore . i think its the mileage. it says propererty of NYc schoolboard . please check it out and debunk. thanks
The number of ways the valve can be inserted differs between makers and is no indicator of quality.
We had problems with Yamaha 5335gsii, had to return the first one that had black mould on inner valve. Second one developed discolouration like rust and black dots inside the valves after couple of months storage. Also had valves sticking that has never been experienced on other trumpets. It was sent back to Yamaha UK for analysis on the discolouration but they had lapped the middle valve with informing that was felt inappropriate for a new trumpet. It is being being returned for refund so almost two years of wasted time in not playing it and getting on with life. Do not recommend Yamaha at the moment.
How does it compare to a king beginner trumpet?
I think the valves on king horns are retardedly stupid
Lemonsqeezerz4 how?
