My brother playes trumpet and I was wondering on a good brand name trumpet for him. (Our teacher is letting him use one of his.) I don't want names of good 'beginner' trumpets but somewhat advanced.

<Added>

Any Suggestions?

How is a Bundy? There is one in the newspaper in very good condition.

I know that with woodwinds, bundy is more of a beggining instrument. Maybe WWBW.com would be a great resource? They seem to have reasonable prices. Be careful with newspapers and ebay!

how much is an olds trumpet in pretty good shape werth

What is the brand name and how old is it?

i can't find that anywhere on it

Can't go wrong with a Bach Stradivarius if hes has been playing for a few years. If he's new to trumpet check out the beginner line of Bach trumpets like the TR600. Yamaha and Getzen are good brands too.

does any body know about an artist II sax?

It really depends on your budget, but as other people have mentioned, a Bach Stradivarius, or high-end Yamaha (Xeno for example) should do the trick!

Bach actually have a new line called the Artisan series.

There's a write up about them here: http://brassmusician.com/vincent-bach-artisan-trumpet-collection/

what would be a good price for a used artist II in pretty good shape

i need a cheap or even free piano because my sister wants to start teaching

Got a Conn trumpet for $40 dollars. Our teacher says the valves were just in wrong.
