Hey, i just play trumpet in a ska band. Im not like in the school band, i dont do that stuff...I play with my ole` student model (from like 4th grade band) and its serves me right. I was thinking on getting this:

But i dont know how different that is froma normal trumpet. I just want it because it is Freaking awesome, and it has hooks so i can hang banners from it...like a banner with my band`s name on it, and that would be awesome...

But back on track, yeah, how different is this from a normal trumpet?

YEs it could be nice for a ska banner but here are the inconvinient:

poor balance because all the weight is at the end. Even more weight if you add a banner. So it can be a big thing to deal with.

Aside from that, It sould normaly sound like a normal trumpet. But for that price, you could get a better normal trumpet instead of having a cheap herald one.
