• Stainless Steel Valves: Resistant to corrosion and quick to return to the resting position, stainless steel is the ideal choice for the valves of your first trumpet.
• Stainless steel makes the action very fast and responsive, making it a great instrument for beginners, marching bands, and for when you do not want to expose your expensive trumpet to the elements.
• Yellow lead brass body and lead pipe: Easy to work with and resistant to corrosion, yellow brass is the preferred metal for most entry-to-mid level brass and woodwind instruments.
• Brass has a bright timbre, so notes are crisp and articulated.
• 1st Valve slide thumb hook and adjustable 3rd valve slide ring: The balance weight and the addition of an adjustable third valve trigger allows for a natural hand position and promotes proper playing technique. The water key on the third valve slide adds to the ease of use and overall playability of the instrument.
The advantages of learning a musical instrument are as boundless as music itself. Encouraging your children and yourself to play an instrument can have lasting effects that will benefit and enrich you for a lifetime and beyond. Just the physical elements of playing will improve your life from the discipline of practicing to conquering fears and improving coordination and memorization. Learning a musical instrument integrates eye-hand coordination, rhythm, tonality, symbol recognition and interpretation, attention span, and other factors that represent synthetic aspects of human intelligence. In addition, critical thinking, problem-solving, and learning how to work cooperatively toward shared goals are all skills which are reinforced through music education.
