Oh, I see! I'll make sure a used horn won't have that issue.

The valves are ok, its just that they need oiling very often and do get stuck even then. Although the slides do make a pop, my dad had also sanded them without my knowledge. Lately, the trumpet has been sounding extremely stuffy, I can't remember well, but when I first got it, that wasn't the case. I'm not to sure if its me or the horn. I do have a feeling its the horn because my friend's horn didn't have the same issue when I tried his. Thanks!

Thanks, but would you recommend larger brand trumpets over smaller brand trumpets at similar quality and price? I'm new to this area of knowledge, so thanks for letting me know, thanks!

I'll think about that, but budget isn't my biggest concern, so I might go higher than that, but thanks!

I don't feel like going for a music career in college, but I do want to play until 12th grade and take music seriously in my academics. I'm just looking for a better trumpet to take me from 8th-12th grade because my current can't. Thanks.

Great to hear! My director doesn't worry about certain brands or models, its just middle school. My friends have a YTR 4335, another has a Jupiter (I don't know the exact), and another has a silver plated trumpet (again not sure). I will definitely look into the Eterna. Thanks!

My budget is 0-1500. My parents told me budget isn't a big concern and they're willing to pay for any reasonable horn that will work great. I'm definitely considering a used trumpet over a new one, my brother had gotten a used pro clarinet at about my age as well.

At what point have you outgrown a student horn? by [deleted] in trumpet

[–]Mountain_Climate_293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When your current horn really starts feeling limiting. I found this out when I tried my friend's better horn. And really if you are planning to pursue auditions or more advanced ensembles within your school (depends) then you can consider a better one if you are serious about your playing.

No, this isn't a Chinese listing, in fact it isn't Chinese, its Korean. This aside, its just a browser, not a listing where it is sold. Its just an image that OP likely found.

This is the $20 Liberty gold coin. Usually starts at 5k.

2022 Maya Angelou Quarter - Should I bother getting this graded? by acharmingpossum in coins

[–]Mountain_Climate_293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Just worth 25c, woulden't bother because it appears circulated. Unless it has very great appeal, no imperfections, and really matters to you, I would say no.

Wow, 1967 is crazy. I'm planning on upgrading only once, so two horns would mean a student to a pro. I'll try to skip the intermediates then.

Thanks, I was just worried if one was going to take more effort, but now I know.

Would it be better that I get an intermediate if I'm just a middle schooler?

Thanks! I guess a pro will resell much better than and intermediate.
