Eastar Bb Trumpet Set ETR-380B, Black

I bought this for my daughter who is in her second year of band. She borrowed a school trumpet last year, and was so excited to get her own. This trumpet works perfectly for her needs.

Sceptical at first to buy it. Not anymore for this price. This Trumpet is perfect for me. I’m 65 years old, was a trumpet player in high school for 4 years. I lost my original trumpet in an unfortunate way. Since I was trying to raise kids, work, etc for years i brush it aside. Yet always in the back of my mind i could still play the chromatic scale in my head on it.
THEN I went on Amazon and seen the ratings on this. NO ONE IS LYING HERE!!
I was able to pick it up and get my lips back in shape and my technique.THIS TRUMPET even sounds good and allows you to work on your embouchure!!!
NOTE: In the same order I purchased a 5C and 3C mouthpiece. GLAD I DID. The 7C wasn’t for me. The 5C is where I settled for now. The mouthpieces did not break the bank as well.
Quality: I’m amazed after some valve oil how fast I could use the valves. Everything on this Trumpet is smooth.
Feels to me like a more expensive trumpet yet all I needed it for was to get back into playing.
Just take care of it and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with it. Especially for a child to start learning.
YES, learn valves for what notes AND with working on your embouchure, you can make this trumpet sound crisp clear…
I could go on. Worth it…
P.S. I’m sorry if some received damaged units, not many, but I see the ratings. Mine is built well.
Thankful I bought this to bring back memories and make more..

I have to say I am extremely impressed!!

It was a toss up between renting and buying a trumpet for my daughter as she goes into band. Rentals would be about $10 cheaper than this, at most. I decided to buy as this is the third instrument she is learning now, and I can see her playing trumpet for years to come. So having it pay itself off after one year was a huge bonus.

Now it’s no Yamaha, but heck! This trumpet looks very nice for the price! The finish is better than any rental you’d get from abstorenor school, and nothing is dented to boot! The build quality is solid, and though the valves are a little sticky upon delivery, add a bit of oil and you’re good to go! The sound is great too! Like I said, it doesn’t sound anything like a top of the line one, but for junior high band it is probably gonna be one of the best sounding ones there. Also, if you don’t really know how to tell good sound from bad then you wouldn’t be able to tell this from any other. As one who used to play a “school special”, I would have preferred this one. Also, I’m well versed in the music scene (so just so you don’t think I’m pulling garbage out of the air) having children that play piano, cello, now trumpet, accordion, and I play the bass guitar and banjo myself; in addition to having many professional musician and opera performer friends…I can honestly say I know a thing or two about good and bad sounding instruments.

All in all, it’s a great starter trumpet and it should not disappoint!!

Bought for my child as their prior trumpet broke. Once received the case looked small so we questioned the size of the trumpet, however it is a full size trumpet. While inspecting the try the middle key(button) was not moving as it should, after a couple of times of pushing it finally worked. Otherwise a great instrument for a decent price.

It makes trumpet sounds. Amazing for the money. It needed cleaned, but that’s not surprising. Overall, it’s a good deal.

They say not to buy a trumpet over the internet but we’ve bought a trumpet online through amazon on two separate occasions and have not been disappointed.
The first time was when my son first started playing the trumpet in 4th grade. We weren’t sure how far he’d go with the instrument and renting at $35/month didn’t make sense when you can buy one for $100. So we bought one for $100 through Amazon and it served him well for 4 years (last few months he complained about the valves sticking, etc) making it $25/year “rental”, a steal! He managed to play lead trumpet in middle school so I don’t think it set him back much. His trumpet tutor thought the trumpet was just fine. After 4 years it broke down and it was time to purchase a better quality trumpet. We ended up buying a professional trumpet costing $3K through his private trumpet teacher. He gets comments on it from people in the know about trumpets.
But now, he is starting marching band and there is no way we want him to be taking that pricey trumpet to set on concrete and grass, etc. while doing exercises. So I came online and looked for the trumpet be bought long ago but it was no longer sold or no longer sold for the price. After looking around I saw this one and decided to purchase it. Price was good. Only $29 more than his previous online trumpet 4-5 years ago. I know now not to be a price snob and go for $200 when $129 will do.
We got it a couple weeks ago and he has been happy with it. It is not as smooth as his high end one in that he has to take care how he presses the valves whereas he can be sloppy with the pricey one. But it sounds really good and looks good and the price spent on it means I don’t worry that he will ding it or scrape it a bit out on the field – although of course I hope he still takes care of it no matter what price range.
I am no expert in appraising trumpet quality but this has been our experience so far.
