Bach Strat man for sure.Or maybe a Yamaha, perferably an Allegro.
But if your lookin for a cheap but good trumpet.Go to eBay man.Itz hella reliable. Found a Bach Strat Pro SP for lik $300

I`ve been a long time SELLER?BUYER on eBay: and if you look at the completed auctions in an analytical way you`ll fing that quality trumpets of any brand almost never sell below 70% of reputable music store outlets. So for 30% you take a risk and most often you`ll have no warranty other than what ebay offers, which can be terribly inadequate. SO DON`T BELIEVE IT. IF IT`S TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. IT IS!

What does the MM in MMHS stand for? Disney?!

actually bach is very nice, but it mostly depends on the type of music you want to plat, there aren`t many blues and jazz players that use bach,the best is prob. a monet
www.monet.com check it out, i myself would like to get a flumpet from monet, but with a price tag of around $8,000, i got bills, so i play out of a king flair a red one, i play in a 9 piece blues band from out of rhode island, my band website is www.badluckandtrouble.org

People.... You`ve all lost sight of the fact that this guys original question was what `good` trumpet can I get for between $350-$400. AND IN ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION!!!
A Yamaha student horn or Bach TR300 will do very nicely without breaking the bank. Come on, Frank, are you kidding me; a Monet. Geez

Hey Guys: I really think we`ve worn out this question; to where its become an, `I got a better horn than you" sort of thing.

With all due respect, I move that we put this question to BED!

All in favor say `EY`!

Stumbled across this forum...Bump to the top, hahaha.

If you are willing to spend $400, then get yourself the best $400 trumpet whether it's a used/new horn, doesn't matter. If you don't practice, no matter how much you spend you won't sound good, maybe just to your mommy.

I played a King 2000 from 7th grade until I finished college. I was 1st chair and played in all the gifted and talented bands, honor band, select bands, marching competition, jazz competition, and even toured Europe. It was good enough school and I had a full college scholarship thanks to my horn.

I didn't play it after that and now it sits. I still want a Schilke, just cause it's the !***!. Some things you have to experience owning once in your life and owning a Schilke is one of my life goals, haha.

If you want a free horn I'm be happy to ship it to you at your expense. Maybe it could get a new lease on life. It's silver w/1st valve trigger and I'll throw in the gig bag.

Good luck with your decision, which I assume you've made by now, haha.

what do all u pros think about a getzen 700,s eterna

Don't know getzen, but selmer is starting get a good name. Guess it has to do with their takeover of Bach.

Didn't this guy post this about three years ago?? I imagine he's already found himself a trumpet.

You never know, three years ago I kept on saying "I'm going to buy a trumpet", and only just bought one recently.
