Bought this for my now 7th grader and he loooves it! He thinks it’s cool because it’s black and loves to practice with it. Only one suggestion would if it included some valve oil. Shipping was fast too!

I haven’t picked up a trumpet in 37 years but I thought I would give it a try as a hobby. Having so much fun! Gotta get the old lips back in shape, back in the day I was first chair in high school, marching band and concert band but I have a ways to go. I am pretty impressed by the quality of this instrument! I had a Bach Stradivarius back then, very expensive but this horn has many of the same features and at just $170, all I can say is wow. My only minor complaint is that the care products that it came with was supposed to include valve oil. Probably a good thing since I purchased a better quality oil. To those parents out there that may have considered a musical instrument rental plan, forget about it, buy this trumpet! It’s just beautiful in black, case is nice, well worth the price. Well done, Eastar!

Arrived a couple days sooner than expected. Looks absolutely beautiful and plays just as equally. Would highly recommend.

More than I expected excellent carrying case and accessories supplied.

My kid just started playing the trumpet, and this instrument is perfect for the job. It's inexpensive, it's easy to put together, and she can make decent music notes (when she plays the trumpet correctly). Overall, I'm happy with the purchase.
Laura K.
Its such a unique color. Sounds great and my sons a beginner trumpet player but plays tuba for years. Great buy.
Jennifer Goodall
Amazing and fit our budget! Kid likes it perfect for the beginner as it doesn’t cost 700.00 and doesn’t carry a 40.00 a month rental fee!!! Highly recommended!
irv g.
Order for my son for his music class. I was surprised by the quality. For the price you get bang for the buck. Comes with everything school requested.
Alecia Sugar
For a beginner trumpet this was perfect! My son isn’t sure if he wants to continue on with band so this was a good price for someone not sure if they want to make the long term commitment! Perfect for any beginner!
Morbius Morte
I bought this for my son for band and I am really surprised at the quality compared to other prices of seen this is perfect value for money well spent
Melanie
Nice, solid trumpet for a 6th grader. It sounds good and is made well. I highly suggest buying this trumpet! Plus I had no idea when I bought it.... That the case is not hard... And you can wear it as a backpack if you want! Pretty slick!
Manicmomma
This trumpet is an amazing price for everything that you get. It is the perfect trumpet for the beginning trumpet player.
Amber
This is an awesome trumpet for the price. My 4th grader loves the vibrant color! She just started playing a few months ago and has progressed well using this trumpet. It sounds great even with a 4th grader playing it! ;)

Love the quality of this trumpet, I purchased in black and I love the fact that it’s in a unique color that you don’t see everyday. Also comes with valve oil, gloves, a cleaning snake and a great quality soft case as well.

Excellent product. No issues with shipping. Nothing damaged. I had not played a trumpet in 34 years. Picked this up and everything fell back in place. Would recommend.
Wallstreet07
My daughter loves her trumpet. Great price and the price point is 90% less than what the school partner was going to charge us. Great product overall.
Valerie
There is no amount of value or price point to put on reaction my husband gave me in response to receiving this trumpet as an Anniverssary gift. This indeed is a quality instrument! The sound is pure. The instrument was shipped in perfect condition!
R. Reynolds
Bought this for my 8 year old. We ordered gold and got a black one. He was ok with it so we kept it. He is enjoying taking lessons and practicing. At first I wanted to rent or purchase a used one, but looking at the prices it was better just to buy this new one.
Timothy Bink
Great product for a beginner. Bought for my son who has never played before. Weren’t real sure on the size as it looked big in the pictures. Once he got it the trumpet was the perfect size. And the price was unbeatable for what you are getting.
Desiree Conner
This was lurches as a first time band instrument. I have to say I am ver please with the quality. I was expecting the trumpet to be made of cheap material but it is very well built. Would purchase another.
Shortstack
My daughter wanted to learn trumpet, and when I realized the price to rent one monthly for the school year would end up equaling more than it cost to buy one- i quickly decided on purchasing. Read reviews- this one had good reviews and lots of recommendations for beginners. My 11 year old loves it! She is still learning, but the sound is smooth and the instrument itself is beautiful. Love the nice case it comes with too! Happy with the purchase!
Stacey St. Hilaire
This is the perfect trumpet for my beginner. She loves it and the sound is nice. A family member that plays the trumpet professionally said it sounds good.
Roger
This has proven to be a fantastic addition to our cadre of instruments. Our beginner trumpet player has had great success and found ease of use in cleaning and maintaining the trumpet too. He’s found everything he needs to start playing.
Jazmin
Bought this for a Christmas gift in 2020, my partner LOVES it. It sounds pretty good, pretty darn loud but that’s the whole point. He’s been practicing too so it’s been fun hearing him from beginner to mid level almost expert I would say. If you’re thinking of getting someone a trumpet that is beginner - mid level, I say go for it!! Invest in instruments like the trumpet! Also I loved the way it is packaged. Just buy it. Needed a sign, here it is! :)
J. Murphy
This is a really great trumpet for beginners. I'm a new player of this instrument and I was looking for a reasonably priced one and this caught my eye. I went out on a limb and purchased it and it was a great choice. This trumpet comes with a great carrying case and all the accessories needed to get off to a good start.
Ryan
Great for first-time trumpet players, this set comes with everything you need. The case is sturdy and light weight. The accessories are what the teacher recommended. As far as sound quality, I think it's pretty good. Like I said, this is being used for a beginner, so time will tell.
News from TAS
I bought this to replace a trumpet that completely fell apart for no apparent reason. This trumpet is an improvement for just a little more money. The case is wonderful, durable with a strap and has pockets for the cleaning kit and oil. It came with a great little cleaning kit and instructions. The sound quality is great and it has held up for the past 3 months.
ItsSunshine84
My son loves his trumpet! It sounds good and it’s made of good quality! I read a lot of reviews before purchasing mine, so I can tell you it’s definitely worth the buy! Buy It!!!!
Em A
I am so happy with this trumpet! It looks and sounds beautiful! The case is ideal for a number of reasons not the least of which is the backpack option. I'm a Horn player making a foray into the trumpet world and this horn makes me feel like a natural!
Christine
My son plays tuba at school and wanted to try trumpet, so I bought this. We are very happy with it. It is not flimsy and all the moving parts work as they should. I’m not an expert, but it sounds very good to me. Exactly what we needed.
Heather Jaeger
My little guy (5) asked Santa for a trumpet for Christmas. He didn’t know that Santa would actually bring him a real one and was super excited as soon as he opened it. Not only is this trumpet beautiful, it came with cleaning supplies, a case and gloves. Perfect for a new player just starting out. The trumpet sound quality is super clear and the buttons/slider are easy to use. Even though my son has some time to grow in to it more, he has played it every day and has taken an interest in taking lessons to learn to play. I am not a trumpet expert, but for what we received and for the enjoyment this instrument has brought us already, it was totally worth the cost.
G
I got this for my daughter. She chose trumpet for School band. I thought this is value for money, as she is a beginner and we do not know how it will work out with online band classes. The first time she tried it sounded awful, but now after some practice it is sounding way better. So I think it is more of technique issue rather than instrument. It comes with case and other accessories.
Sally
My daughter is 11 and is a beginner. She's been learning on this trumpet for 2 mos now and we've had ZERO issue with this instrument. Since she's a beginner, I can't judge the sound as she makes it sound like a loud squeaky door at this point (ha, ha). It was a great purchase and saved us hundreds (rather than renting from school)...we are extremely happy with it!
Ryan GArner
For a beginner trumpet, it’s perfect. I played in high school about 10 years ago and haven’t played again until now. I had the urge to pick one up again but didn’t want to break the bank. While this trumpet is inexpensive, it gets the job done. It sounds pretty good for the price and looks pretty nice too. I’m glad this trumpet is available, I may decide to really get back into trumpet now because of it.
Dot Henrich
I'm a Band teacher and my 8 year old showed interesting in the trumpet. With his age I didn't want to drop a ton of money on something he might not love. I played it and I'm extremely impressed with the sound and durability.
Jess
This is a solid instrument. It is NOT plastic. I highly recommend. My uncle is in a military band and has been a trumpet player most of his life. He couldn’t believe how good the quality of this instrument was AND it cheaper than renting the schools instruments.
JDubs
Great trumpet for beginners and even if you’ve already played. It comes with a awesome case, great cleaning kit, and all-around good value for the money. We bought it as a temporary replacement while his $1200 trumpet was being repaired and my son loves you just as much as his Bach.
Gobbler Getter
Overall I am really impressed with the overall quality and sound from this trumpet, and my son finds it easier to play and with an overall better tone then the yearly Yamaha rental piece he had in previous years. time will tell on the overall durability, but it hasn't had any issues to date. Highly recommended.
D.J.
My daughter is still on the fence about band and not sure if she wants to devote her time to it long term. So far this is a great instrument for the price. It is built well and the sound is great. It comes with everything you need to get started. For a little more than a hundred dollars she can try it and see if she develops a passion for music. Instead of spending up to and over a thousand dollars for an instrument or an on going $45 monthly rental.
Banana
We have to get our 5th graders instruments for school. They recommended renting, I found that renting is at least $20 per month plus the insurance repair plan that they recommend plus a music stand and cleaning kit and a book. This just seems pretty excessive for a few months of use. This item was affordable and I was able to find the stand and book for cheap as well. I think this is a way better option than renting and you get to choose a cool color that normally wouldn’t be available. Overall happy with the purchase
BookBelle
Played trumpet years ago, bought this one to see if I still could. Back in the 90s, had a silver Bach that was close to $1K, this sound sand functions almost as well. Given the other in 1995 dollars was more than ten times the price of this one in 2021 dollars, I’d say it’s a fantastic deal! Great for beginners with “extras” usually only found on higher end models. If you’ve got a kid just learning to play, this is a great choice - they can learn and use it for several years, and if they end up putting it down then you’re out less than a hundred bucks. Highly recommend!!
Joe Coomes
I purchased this trumpet for my daughter for her first year of band. They wanted us to pay $700 or a total of $800 rent to own for a used trumpet. We don't know if that's the instrument she will want to stay with so seemed outrageous. Her band teacher was impressed with this one, he said it had a very crisp sharp sound to it that sounded the same as a $1,200 trumpet. Eastar is a known brand and has always been best bang for the buck even since my first day in band.
Old Romans
The box that arrives on your doorstep is emblazoned with the word TRUMPET on the side, so if you plan on giving this as a gift to your child who comes home and sees the packages before you do, well, get ready for a ruined surprise. Other than that, I opened the box to make sure things are in order and they certainly seem to be...the trumpet looks new, well crafted and without blemishes that I can tell. Everything comes wrapped and packaged within. The case seems to be pretty sturdy, lightweight and the zipper seems fine; there is a flap near the handle that protects the zipper, which is a nice touch.
*I will update this review after an extended period of use.
A. Taylor
We were renting a trumpet for my 10 year old when I decided to research buying one myself. The used one I was renting would have ending up costing 5-10 times as much as this one. Boy, was I glad I ended up just buying this. Even if he quits after a year, I would have paid more than this to rent one. My child said that this trumpet was easier to use than the rental which retailed at $500 used. As a beginner, we really can’t tell the difference between this trumpet and a more expensive one. I would recommend this in a heartbeat if you have a beginner trumpet player and want a good value. The case is. Ice and it comes with a cleaning kit. We have used it for two months with no problem now. I can’t say what it would be like for an experienced player.
Joe
For beginners this trumpet is perfect, the sound quality to great and is completely worth the money. It was a much better deal as opposed to renting it for the year. My son loves it and loves the color. The case is also very sturdy.
Jesse R.
THIA TRUMPET LOOKS AMAZING AND IT PLAYS LIKE ANY OTHER TRUMPET I HAVE PLAYED..... IT CAME IN A HANDSOME CASE WITH VALVE OIL, WHITE GLOVES, A SNAKE FOR CLEANING AND MORE...... I am 100% totally satisfied..... AND IT CAME VERY VERY QUICKLY!!!! I THOUGHT IS WAS COMING FROM CHINA AND I WAS UPSET, BUT IT CAME FROM CANADA AND IT GOT HERE SO QUICK THAT I WAS SHOCKED!!! THE PURPLR TRUMPET IS NEXT ON MY LIST AND THEN THE SAX...... STOKED
Rueben
In all honesty this is the best beginner trumpet for those who want to learn or are in school band, its sound is really good, the only little thing i have is the valves, the tend to stick a little bit, I recomend Blue Juice valve oil, ive been using it for a while and it works great, if you have a little extra money i suggest getting it a good look over by your local professionals and maybe replace the valves if need be but other than that its a really good instrument would 99.9% recomend!
LOUIS L.
Just started again on the trumpet. Have a way to go again. Keep in mind that maintenance is very important, especially keeping the valves lose. Go on line to see what to do about that.

Lance
I purchased the trumpet as a gift for a friend in another country. When I received it, I inspected it and it functioned as a trumpet should. I would say it’s perfect for a beginner and would serve an intermediate player well also. I really dig the case! The straps worked as a backpack while I carried it through the airport. The additional cleaning kit is a bonus. I don’t remember seeing a polishing cloth, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t there.
Great item for the price.

For a beginners instrument this was a good deal...
Kenzie J.
This trumpet is perfect for a beginner. The quality is top notch for a young kid who might not take the best care of their instrument but it will hold up and keep the same sound quality. It looks beautiful in the hands and sounds good as well. All in all perfect trumpet to start a musical career with.

I got this Trumpet for my 13 yr old grandson. He was in band at school and when school shut down he still wanted to play an instrument. Great value..

It was such a great purchase. Way beyond my expectations. My son loves it and he has gotten tons of compliments from teachers and other students at school. I love the way it was packaged. I loved the fact that it came with the cleaning tools and I love the case. I would give it a 10 star review but it only allows 5. It's Perfect.
Tha Missus
Sounds great. Smaller than a more expensive horn, but great for re-learning, beginning and just tinkering around.
