My son (age 9) has played guitar for a couple of years now. He recently asked to learn the trumpet as well. As a parent looking to purchase a beginner instrument for a budding musician that seems to want to learn as many instruments as possible, I greatly appreciate this video.

I don't know why but I keep coming back to this video...I like this guy - "I'm American, Come On!"

Just have to love this guy, his presentation is flawless!

The best beginner's trumpet was a CONN 22B, circa 1942, I think,. It was at least for me. My dad rented it for me not knowing one trumpet from another. This was in 1953 and the cost was $7 per month, a lot of money in those days. I soloed in a school program, I was in 5th grade, and the solo was Oh, Mein Papa. So, at least I got off to a good start. Today, the Chinese, Taiwan, and other trumpets, excluding Indian trumpets, are pretty good, but slotting is hard. And they are hard to keep in tune. I've tested them all, and I believe that the Conn-Selmer Prelude is the best beginners trumpet.

That was a really great impartial review thank you

this video is outstanding, i feel like the yamaha sounds exactly what i think of when it comes to my personal definitive "good trumpet playing sound"... then he talks about exactly that right on the next one haha. very informative, well put together, great job

Just going with my gut I think you liked the Yamaha the best :)

Thanks so much for your display of trumpets I have recently purchased the Jupiter 700 working great so far🎺😁

I went to a Salvation Army store as a 13 year old kid and bought a Olds, Ambassador cornet. I paid $15 bucks for it. When I turned 48, I got nostalgic and sent it off to get refurbished and replated at "Pettifor's" of Los Angeles Avenue, Elkhart, Indiana... They did a dynamite job of fixing, de-denting and replating everything. Cost was $155 Dollars in 1989. Badger State cases sold me a new leather clad horn case for $60 dollars. the horn and case were so beautiful I played it and coddled it for another 10 years. Now my Kids and Grand kids don't even care about muisic, they only either listen to rap or play on their cell phone apps!

this is the best review i've ever watched!

Thank you for doing this comparison!

Man, it just feels so good!

Super review by a top musician

stellar playing my friend!

Hey Thomann, great video! I'm a low brass player, so I'd love to see some Euphonium/Tuba videos!

Some of the others did sound a bit better than the Jupiter but I was surprised I liked the sound of it that much. Very mellow and warm when compared to the others.

I might be biased as I play a Bach Strad, but i do prefer the sound from the Bach 501. Although the overtones from the Yamaha and the Thomann TR-5000 GL sound much better. at the end of the day It’s down to what you like how you play.

Gary’s one chill cat.

i think the jupiter has the best overall sound. lows sound stable and the highs dont sound tinny. nice video.

Digg’n the big SPL meter 💪

Thanks a ton, forreal. subscribed and Thomann fan now

excellent presentation.

God damn you're a good salesman taking notes on this one.

very helpful. Jupiter is the one for me.

Gary, I could hear your listening to yourself... on the wending path the Jupiter was allowing at closing. A Magic for the dollar.....and hey, that TR 5000 GL...a nice sound!

Chelsea bridge!! one of my favourite ballads :D

Looking for daughter 3rd year. But wow, fun to hear this guy play

Thanks, I was thinking about buying used, however I'm now convinced beginner new is better.

My Bach Strad was lost in transit so I bought a Yahama for a gig, Still using it.

Nice! Cheslea Bridge at 3:44

Excellent, it is absolutley necessary that the demonstrator has top intonation and can slot in the notes consistently, so that the horns can be accurately compared. Something should be said about scaling, e.i if any notes are off, even the slightest. Very good indeed, thank you.

Intresting Thanks

Thanks for the tip I know now

Thanks for the video ,im a begginer i qould buy the bach!! Thanks

Great audio. What mic did you use?

Hi Thomann, do you recommend buying a C or Bb trumpet as beginner?

very nice video

Was a toss up between Bach 501 and teh Yamaha 5335gs ii.........but the yamaha found us!

Which one would you recommend for jazz?

I bought a Thomann tr200 Bb trumpet. I am very happy with it and bought it for learning to play the instrument. I have a light problem though, the white little piece on top of the valve that is glued came off while practicing, maybe the heat of the finger softened the glue. Does anyone know what kind of glue I can use to put it back on? Thanks and sorry if I used the word "glue" too much. :P

So what, exactly, makes some trumpets stuffy and others more free-blowing? Whatever are some trumpets and flugelhorns that are known to be more free-blowing and well-slotting than most? Thanks.

Hi Gary. Why don't you test the Bach TR450 for us too. It looks like to be a cannon ball. Just to know your opinion.

Parabéns.

Is the Thomann 5000 GL the same one as the Tr-500 GL? Can't find the 5000 series in the webpage

Clifford Brown's rendition of stardust is my absolute favorite

The Jupiter sounds the best.

🔥🔥🔥

Do you have any idea about the Kaizer C-Series (4000) Intermediate Trumpet B Flat Bb Anniversary Edition .

Hi, i'm looking for a beginners trumpet, Thomann are right around my budget, but can't find the differences between TR 200, TR 500 L and all the S,M , GL and other nomenclature in your store. Thanks beforehand

Could you tell me what Thomann Horn with serila number 14498 model is please ?

the yamaha sounded nice especcially when playing softley

I always wanting to find the best trumpet for marching, easy to play on the high note, loud and clear

I guess, as a beginner, the most important thing ist that your trumpet doesn't let you down. It has to be mechanically solid with good working valves and a stable intonation. In this stage you don't know if a bad tone is your fault or just a bad working instrument. The experienced player knows it immediately. And for the Thomann 5000 Series comes in very cool colours, so it's just a joy to play it and you grab ist every time with pleasure.

I had problems with Yamaha valves corroding on an advantage trumpet in my first year of middle school, and the Jupiter that replaced it gave me no issues until I accidentally dented the valve casing or something. I have an accent one now, and the issue with that one is the mouthpiece it comes with, it is super uncomfortable. So I have a soft spot for the Jupiter instrument. It was easiest to play high with it.

Please, can somebody recommend me trumpet for not professional player? I'm thinking of buying Yamaha YTR-4335 GS, is there a better option?

gut

13:32 RED SPY IS IN THE BASE!

The song played with the TR200?!? Please!!! 🙏

What is the price of those trumpets?

Nice video, can you do one with flugelhorns as well!?!?!?

Did you go to school for sales or something, I'm just blown away.

To correct you on the Yamaha valves, they gave us a problem on the YTR 5335gsii, became sluggish and had to be sent to workshop, the fault was still there some 4 months when it was returned. So be warned, take a look on the forums, the valves are problematic. It was sent back for refund and now we are looking at Getzen.

Did you guys discontinue the 5000 trumpet?

J 0:44, 0:59, y 2:53, 3:24, b 5:31

Bummer that you don’t put the prices of these!!

Hi I'm the child looking for a trumpet I'm wondering where u can get the Yamaha trumpet can u tell me please?

Jupiter and the last one were best

2:53 "Distracting Trumpet"

Am I crazy to think the TR200 sounded as good if not better than the other horns? And I don’t say that because I just ordered one. 👊

13:31 Trumpet player's conclusion

What mic is he using?

I liked the bark of the Yamaha ( oh.. bad pun)

What happened to his head at 9:35 lol

You should check out jean pual usa. I got mine for like 450 but they have models that olay amazingly for like 180

What song is that at Minute 4?

Are you using the mouthpiece that comes with each trumpet ?! ..pls

Other than the price, what is the difference between a student trumpet and a intermediate one?

Thank you, that's the best "how to break up with your girlfriend" tutorial on youtube! can't wait to start learning how to play the trumpet!

Jason Harrelson claims that his experiments yielded that the ovate tuning slide actually creates more blowing resistance than the standard or squared off tuning slide. Also, through my own playing experience, I've discovered that the reversed lead pipe and downhill slide designs do not affect blowing resistance or air flow enough to make it worth the trouble of making the instrument that way and worth the extra trouble of maintaining the slides when they're configured that way. If you take a puff on a cigarette and blow the smoke through the horn, it takes a lot of playing before you finally see the smoke come out of the bell of the horn. This tells us that the air doesn't go whipping through the trumpet at warp speed, to the point where one the edges of slides on the inside of the tubing is going to make any difference whatsoever. And when you stop to think how small the throat of a mouthpiece is, that's the bottleneck in the whole process. Because of the small size of the mouthpiece throat, the air is not going to go flowing through that horn at a high rate of speed. The horn is just an amplification and sound conditioning device. I have a horn with the reverse lead pipe design, and all of the slides have that reversed female to male configuration. That means that when all of the slides are removed, there are going to be a male (inner) part of the slide on every single slide. The disadvantage of this is that If you ever have to clean off these inner slide parts with either some extra fine steel wool, or a dremel polishing tool, it creates the risk of accidentally hitting the external finish on other parts of the horn and putting all kinds of cosmetic flaws on the horn. I HATE THAT! This whole concept of reversed slides was a bad idea that serves no purpose, it's only done to satisfy a perception. I wish horn manufacturers would stop making horns this way. It's just one more reason why the old vintage horns were better. The manufacturing quality was better and the mix of the alloys were better. We never heard of red-rot in the old days. That only happens with these newer, more cheaply made horns. Today, you have all of these step-bore and poly-bore designs that are supposed to give the horn better intonation with itself. I've got news for you - the newer horns STILL don't play perfectly in tune with themselves even with all of that step-bore stuff.

Any trumpet will do

I wanne see your high-range embouchure!

what mic is that

Playing a Taylor (Monette copy) and a Schilke (1958) which was my horn in Jr. High school and have found that from playing in many orchestras and bands, it's the player that makes the biggest difference, not the horn. The plastic Tromba C trumpet would be the easiest to play for a student.

America 🤘🏿

Please do a video on least expensive professional trumpets among Getzen, Back, Yamaha...

Which trompet did Chet Baker play on ?

I have a Bach tr500, that's pretty similar to the tr501 right?

Where are the Thomann trumpets made? US?

Yamaha YTR-3335 AND Thomann TR-5000 GL BEST

Why is the Yamaha way cheaper on your website than others? Like $200 cheaper

Aight

2:55 0:43 0:59

Can anyone comment on the Yamahas since they’re now made in China?.. I can’t find any recent video reviews on this matter..

So how much is the Thomann 5000 series one??

For me jupiter

Plz price

It's really too bad that Olds shuttered in 1979. The Ambassador line was and STILL IS the BEST line of beginner instruments.

Where is the Thoman Manufactured?

What no Monette trumpets, lol? All of the trumpets sound great in the presenter's hands. Yamaha has never let me down, but there are lots of choices these days.

Are these sold in stores?
