Is this a good trumpet for high school band players

Depends on what level player you are. If you are more of a beginner, yes it's great! If you are an intermediate I would still use it. My only recommendation would be to get it in silver. Silver is the color of experienced players trust me you'll get more respect with a silver horn.

I bought this for a middle school girl that was staying with me and she loved it. Her teacher said it is a great student trumpet. If you are looking for a trumpet for a beginner this is a good choice.

It's what we called a flute a phone in school. It hits notes. But I'm not sure it'd be good for learning jazz. I believe it's more a tool for learning notes and how they might sound.

This was a gift for my wife ... She said it is easy to learn and here only musical experience was the trumpet in high school... This is a nice Instrament and all around package for the price.

I would advise you to wait on the trumpet until he is about 10 years old. He can have fun with a recorder. Yamaha makes a good plastic one. Since he is a little guy, I'd suggest getting him a soprano recorder. It's not very expensive and if he really wants to play, this will provide a way to get started.

The instrument has very good orchestra sounds. Most are pretty good reproductions. It does not have an internal speaker . I bought mine for playing midi backing tracks. It will also play thumb drive midi or wave files. I love it. For the money it is an excelent instrument

I bought this pad for my 11 y/o daughter at the recommendation of her band leader. She is not however very musical so I do not know if it is good for practice. It was however a rec from someone who knows. It is very sturdy for the job.

To be honest, I have not heard the three trumpet ones. But I can assure you that you will not be disappointed with the four horn setup.

My son needed it for his music class. He is in the fifth grade. I think, personally, it could be used by a child younger than that and up to adult, as long as they were interested on learning to play an Instrument.

Rule#1, Never buy something if you know little about it. There really is no difference between one valve oil and another. The important thing is that this is not a $2,000 trumpet, so it will use a lot of oil, just like any other cheaper trumpet would. a cheaper priced trumpet can sound like a $2,000 one when played by a pro though. Sticky valves? I would say not, just remember to oil them often, and don't play them in freezing temperatures unless you oil them right before you do.. This one is the best I've seen for the money..

I would guess this would be just right for a beginner. My 13 year old daughter does just fine with it. I would suggest going to a local music store to purchase different reeds, however. The reeds that come with it are not great, and sometimes don't work well.

My son's teacher said that it depends on a child... If a child has a good skill, then even a bad instrument will sound well. This one has a good sound and look to it. I bought a red and gold one for my 4th grader last year. He loves it.

Hello Rahul,Yes, this instrument is good for kids. My child is under 12yrs and the size is perfect. All I had to do was allow her music instructor to tune it for her. Other than that all is well. I have not had any incident with it and it is still in good working condition. I am a very satisfied customer with this product. I hope this helps to answer your questionBest regards

It's a decent student flute that will take a student up through most high school bands. No flute in the world comes tuned as tuning changes with room temperature, etc, so all are able to be tuned quite easily by adjusting one of the three pieces (pulling out, pushing in further). In any band or orchestra, etc, all the instrumentalists tune their instruments before a performance. The only instruments that don't need to be tuned are electronic ones.

I feel that you can. I use it to keep the pitch up on my piano, but I am sure it would work for brass also. I am an old band director and I wish I had this before I retired.

This flute is able to reach the full range of notes, no matter how low or high they are. However, professionals prefer open holed flutes (flutes that have holes on top of the keys) because they allow faster tuning and belly the sound more, providing well done intonation, blends, and balances. In high school band there will probably be a mix of opened and closed hole flutes ( this particular product is closed hole). The reason for this is that open holed flutes are harder to play and require much more breath and skill. It's up to you to decide where you will put the effort in and whether this flute would fulfill your needs! This flute is able to reach the full range of notes, no matter how low or high they are.

I would suggest reading reviews for the best answer. Size is probably fine. It is a real instrument and not designed for abuse. The case that comes with it is useless. If he is a young protg, you may also want to consult a music store regarding the strings. My son uses this for band at school and it's worked well and his instructor said it was good for now.

This is a great starter clarinet. However it is just that, a starter. I got this for my daughter when she started in 5th grade it lasted until 7th grade when she got to middle school. The band director said with the quality she would not be able to produce good solid sound. It was also hard to get repaired because a lot of the fittings were not the norm. We went over a year with out the thumb rest because it broke off and the screw holes didn't line up like others. I know it was a gift so you appreciate it very much but I would not get your hopes up. The plastic is cheap and will not produce quality sound. This is a great starter clarinet. However it is just that, a starter.
