Jean Paul USA Trumpet - Standard, Brass (TR-430)

I purchased this Trumpet for my son who was starting his journey into music at the start of the school year. We haven't completed a full semester yet. But already I can tell you everyone that's seen this horn has been surprised. It's built well, handily withstood the abuse of an elementary student. There are no points on the horn that feel week or soft. It sounds great. And while I'm not qualified to rate this instrument on a professional scale, the teachers involved with my son's education all have nothing but good things to say as well. All for a price that was about the same as a used horn elsewhere. My wife is involved in the local Band Booster, she's been recommending Jean Paul instruments to any parents she can reach as a result. I've had a long personal conversation with the individual that handles warranties. And I'm happy to report even the business practices internally are solid. Support this small business folks, this is the real deal. A good family providing good instruments for a good price. *Original Review: October 6, 2018 *Updated Review: January 13, 2021 This trumpet still looks brand new, still functions brand new, and it's been beaten up by my son for 2 years and 4 months. This is a perfect student horn!

I haven't played since High School, 40 years ago. So just getting my chops back in shape. I decided to buy this after being inspired by a review on Amazon. Nice sounding. Easy to play. Vavles are smooth as heck. Beautiful too. Reminds me of the silver Yamaha trumpet I had in High School, but I think this Jean Paul is better. I think it is worth every penny. I got it on a one year payment plan, so only paying $50/month and no interest, which makes it even more attractive.

I was the playing bosey fox trumpet from china made which I have put photos with trumpet with compare to that TR 430, tone wise moreless the same but high notes on TR 430 trumpet much better. But compression is on both trumpet is very good.

Me gustó mucho mi trompeta!! en todo los aspectos en sonido, afinación y la calidad material 👉 Gracias Jean Paul y Amazon !

We've bought this as a replacement for Yamaha trumpet we've rented from school, it's now been some time and I can say it's a great value, valves don't stick, overall we're happy with the purchase. The instrument sounds really nice, also it has quite a few adjustments and my daughter adjusted it so it's easier to hold.
