Mendini By Cecilio Bb Standard Trumpet Set for Beginners - Brass Student Trumpet Instrument with Hard Case, 7C Mouthpiece, Valve Oil, Cleaning Cloth, Gloves (Gold)

This is an amazing trumpet! It's very pretty, and feels like a good quality. I should preface I don't play trumpet, I'm a complete beginner here, so I don't know if it's high quality compared to more expensive trumpets, but it works great, it comes with valve oil, gloves and a cleaning cloth thing. It comes with a 7C mouthpiece, it looks amazing, and most importantly, I think it sounds really good. Even if it's not as high quality as other trumpets out there (which I wouldn't know), it's a very good trumpet to start learning on, and I 100% would buy here again P.S. my horrible cam quality doesn't do justice of how amazing it looks lol

TL;DR - It isn't too good to be true. Super cheap price for a basic, but very well built, starter trumpet! Just got mine in today and decided to go with black because it looked sleek. Pulled it out, got it oiled and such, and started playing. I had previously played for several years but then life pulled me away for quite a while ago, so I wanted to find something "beginner"-like so I could jump back in without huge investment. Figured this trumpet could at least serve as my bridge to get back to where I was, and it seems it will be that, and maybe more. Got it tuned and played just a little today to make sure everything sounded right. It feels solid to play, and at this price point I was a little concerned about it "feeling" cheap, but I was worried for nothing as it turns out. Overall sound quality is WAY better than I could have imagined from an instrument at this price. I started on an old Yamaha beginner long ago, and I honestly think this could fool all but the most critical of listeners in a blind test. Obviously this isn't going to reach the quality of the Bach I had in my younger years, but I'm positive it'll sound good enough that I won't really notice for a bit until I rebuild my chops to my former levels. I heard a lot of reviews about valve problems. Most of them seemed to be out of the box issues, and I luckily did not encounter any. I can't speak for the longevity issue with the valves since this is day 0, but they don't feel overly cheap and appear to be crafted with at least some amount of precision and care. They are a bit lighter than I remember valves being, so I guess we'll see. Otherwise, I couldn't be happier with picking this trumpet to get back into it. I'd even be willing to get one for my 5th grade daughter if her interests end up coming this direction. Just all around a great starter-trumpet with more than acceptable sound quality at an alarmingly low price. In fact, I bought this in conjunction with the Yamaha "Silent Brass" system, and it's more expensive then this trumpet itself... that's literally insane to me. (Different product, but I also recommend that Yamaha Silent Brass system for newer players, or anyone that lives with other people really. Let's them really play their heart out, and other people in the room hear only talking-level volumes, and that's only if they're really playing hard. Can't recommend that enough. Only saying it on this review because they pair together so well. It also further shows the value of this product, because for about $320 you can get both a great starter trumpet AND a super nice electronic mute, where paying $500 for one of the usual starter trumpets gets you only that... a trumpet... no mute included.)

The trumpet is great and sounds good, it came with everything listed all wrapped up or in bags. The valves move fine and so does the middle finger hook in the center. My only complaint is in the gloves. I already have very small and thin hands, and they still manage to be a bit too tight on the fingers while the rest of the glove is too loose, and even though they are tight there is a bit of loose fabric at the finger tips which you can easily get caught beneath a valve. I find it fine to wear one glove to make playing more comfortable, but personally I wouldn't recommend wearing them both.

UPDATE!!! Originally I gave this a 2 star review. The product seemed okay at first but then I realized it wasn't just me, as stated in the original review below. I couldn't get in touch with the seller as it bounced back email wise saying they'd only get it in their Amazon email -- psh, like I believed they'd see that. Well they saw it (or my review). Either way they got in touch with me -- gave me pointers on adjusting the valves and while it fixed one; the other just seemed wrong still. I think it was honstly just off -- makes horrible noises when it should just be smooth. So they offered to ship a new one with return label for the other (no cost)! It got here already and it's whole different horn! Feels great. I played for an hour because it just felt so right. I'm very pleased and I feel like the seller is there for me if something were to come up yet again. They were very responsive and quick to get the problem resolved, AND I learned a few things about adjusting valves! :) I look forward to playing and have the confidence I have support behind the horn should something else come up at all. LOVE IT. ORIGINAL REVIEW (2 stars): I bought this as a cheap alternative beginner horn like several others. I was quite surprised when it arrived as it comes in a nice carry case with gloves/cleaning cloth and oil (just as advertised). The trumpet itself actually looks very nice and has a feel to it that isn't as cheap as I was expecting. It feels about as any other trumpet might in weight and durability. Unfortunately I have had trouble with sticky valves. Valve 3 was the most noticeable at first but it seems 1 and 3 are consistantly not making it all the way back up before I'm on to the next note. Unfortunately for my dog, neighbors, and poor husband this sound horrendous beyond beginner trumpet as a suddenly drop G to C or can't make the drop either. I have tried oiling the valves and even a full clean and oil. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to help. I'm contacting the seller -- I'm hoping there is some trick/fix but knowing how instruments come with very touchy tolerances -- I'm not thinking there will be an easy answer. While it is affordable and looks pretty great -- it's almost unplayable. :(

School bend trumpet is here. Shipped in three day and we love it.

Excellent quality product....I would highly recommend it to anyone
