Definitely don’t get a pTrumpet.

You can get dozens of good recommendations on a starter trumpet. Have you ever played or will this be the first time you’ve ever tried a trumpet? If you have even a little experience, then by far the best thing would be to go to a good music shop and try a few in your price range to see which feels best to you.

Otherwise, get in touch with Trent Austin at Austin Custom Brass in Kansas City or Steve Dillard (The Horn Trader) in San Diego. They both have a ton of options.

Personally, I’ve been playing on a Carol Brass during my recent return to playing, and it’s very high quality. They are widely regarded as about the best quality-to-price ratio around.
