I'm a 14 year old trumpet player who loves playing. My favorite instrument is a trumpet. If I had the money (which I don't) then I would buy a really nice trumpet and a nice flugelhorn, both silver. Right now I play on a crappy Begginer Holton, I have outgrown it but have no money for a better horn. No matter how much I am fresturated with it, I still love my horn to death. I play in the 'Silver Regiment' marching band and absolutly LOVE soft and smooth jazz playing.
