great first trumpet for a student
|
|
Cons:
|
None that I can think of

This was the trumpet I used all through Jr. High and High School. It was great and despite endless hours of use, I know it will be great for my kids to use as their first trumpet.

My wife bought this horn used from a store going out of business so that I could start playing again. After all the years as a band rental, the King 600 still plays ... better than I do, likely.

Great sound, nice look, good for beginning trumpeter, great little horn
|
|
Cons:
|
Hmmm, well......... The valves are not as fast as others, but are still fast
|
I have had this horn for ten months of the fifteen I have played. It is great for beginning (much better than some.... My first one was terrible!) and has a great sound. It kept me in first chair all my beginning year! (And got me into jazz band this year.) I recommend this to beginning players.

Pros:
|
Durable; nice sound; excellent marching horn; great look; dark sound (big bore); this may sound wierd but the valves
|
|
Cons:
|
Dark sound; valve casings; 3rd valve slide
|
I've had this horn for 5 years and has always had a great sound. I'll admit, the valves are tricky. It's not that they're slow, the casing and valve itself are too close, thus resulting in the sticking valves. But these valves also have their advantages. When I was first beginning to play, the valves helped build up strength in my fingers. Now I can play other horns a lot easier. I've used this horn in my marching band for 3 years and it holds up better than any other one against the elements. The big bore gives it a nice darker sound, which is great for most jazz charts, but has it's downsides when trying to play bright in more classical scores. For the entire time that I've owned this horn, I found the 3rd valve slide to be really tough to move. I've tried wearing it down, and it's gotten better. It still needs some work though.
Overall, I'd recommend this horn for those who have been playing for a year or two+, but definitely not for professionals.

I bought mine in 1984 with paper route money, and played to first chair,...(or second because it wasn't silver in some cases) Soloed in Marching band against silver trumpets. Played high E above C, while marching, and took the solo. It's now 28 years old. Everything was played with a 7c mouthpiece. Still plays as good today as back then. Valve action is slower than the better models, but the sound makes up for it. All the slides are easy to move, and tune.
