Keep the blessing for marching, cuz it might get beat up, from what happened to my friend's flute.

I got my Conn used for $100. I don't know how much a new one would run you, but it's a great horn to learn on.

Hello, i have a suggestion. I would personally reccoment the barrington F attachment trombone. Its only 430.00 dollars and that is a VERY cheap price for a trombone with a f attacment. i know what your thinking a f attachment trombone for that price MUST be crap. but! i own one and seriously its the best trombone iv ever played. There is only 1 problem with it. buy a new nouthpeice for it, the mouthpeice it comes with is NOT good, it will make the trombone sound bad, but its only the mouthpeice.
heres a link: http://www.wwbw.com/Barrington-BRG202F-F-Attachment-Trombone-i125963.music
p.s heres my msn, im always interested in talking to fellow t-boners.

Hmmmm.... Just looking at those Barrington horns...
The first thing I would say is, where is their website? Any good horn manufacturer would have their home page easily accessible from Yahoo! or Google. No such luck.
Also, I can't find where they are made. But for that price, I would guess they are Chinese. In that case, unless you are only using it for high school band playing and not much else, I would run away. You can get MUCH better quality for very little more in a used horn from a major and respected manufacturer.
To me, not having played one but being experienced in the cheap horn thing, I would say it is a second rate knockoff of a major brand. Good for beginning and early intermediate playing, but thats it. You gonna play beyond high school? Get something better.

No offense, but how experienced are you with professional quality horns? Have you tried Edwards? Rath? Shires? Strads or Elkhorn 88Hs from the 70's? Thiene?
Or really good quality intermediate to advanced horns? Conn, Bach Strads, King, Getzen, Holton, the lists goes on and on...
Most Chinese knockoff horns are crap because they put more attention into mass producing it for a very low cost than actually creating a worthwhile horn that sounds good and will last. The ONLY good horns I have seen coming out of China are the Eastman horns, which are designed by Shires, and cost between $1500 and $2000. All the rest don't play in tune, especially in the upper register, most of them need to go directly to the shop in order to be played, and the workmanship on them is so poor that after a few years of playing strange things start to happen, like welds coming apart because they were not properly sized, the metal bending and flexing where it shouldn't... Weird things...
You really do get what you pay for when dealing with brass instruments. sub-$500 horns are just that. Sub-$500 horns. Great for beginning, but don't stick on it for too long after you graduate from high school band. They are absolutely no comparison to the major American and a few Euro brands that are at the forefront of "quality" these days, which you can find rather easily used for the same price. New, between $1000 and $1500-$1750.
I'm glad you like it, it's great to have a horn you love and enjoy playing, but if you plan on majoring in music in college, you'll need something that can perform at that increased level. And I won't even get into the professional world.
