I just received my trumpet. I had not played trumpet in decades but my son and granddaughter play. I was spurred on to re-learn so that we could record a 3 generation set of music as a legacy. First, the trumpet was well packaged and arrived as advertised and in short order. The fit and finish were excellent in my opinion but the most important item was a nice bright sound. For me playing this trumpet was similar to riding a bike, you don’t forget. So very pleased with the sound, the case it came in , the overall quality finish, and the price. Well worth the money!

We’ve bought this as a replacement for Yamaha trumpet we’ve rented from school, it’s now been some time and I can say it’s a great value, valves don’t stick, overall we’re happy with the purchase. The instrument sounds really nice, also it has quite a few adjustments and my daughter adjusted it so it’s easier to hold.

La trompeta es muy buena y tiene un buen sonido, el problema es que yo pedí la 430S (Plateada) pero me llegó la 430 (Dorada), la compre durante el Prime Day y el precio de la 430S estaba en el precio actual de la 430; no la devuelvo porque la necesito, pero es un error que no esperaba que sucediera.

I had originally purchased this child a different trumpet from here on Amazon. That one cost $100 but they were not sure that they would even want to play. After the first year of band class they were hooked but the cheaper trumpet was not performing very well.
So a trip to a local music store made it clear that we would not be buying locally. I can’t see buying a beginner band student a horn for over $1000. Wow. They wanted better than they had but not a super expensive horn to be super worried about.
Enter the Jean Paul trumpet. After an exhaustive search on the web it seemed like a truly great option. So I purchased it. It came quickly as promised and is a vastly better trumpet than the first one (a Mendini).
The valves are smooth and well made. The slides slide easily in and out. The sound was so much better than the first one.
The first trumpet was on sale at $100. This one was more than 3x that price. But it has been used for the last several months it is worth it.
I wish I had bought one of these in the first place and not wasted the first money… If you are in a similar boat with a child wanting to play I recommend this one highly. I would have loved a Bach or Yamaha Trumpet but not at 3x the price of this Jean Paul. Is it a Bach Stradivarius Silver Trumpet? No. But then it isn’t $4k either so be aware of what it is and how nice it is for a very reasonable price.

I bought this for my son over a year ago to replace a loaner that was in dire need of attention. The trumpet arrived on time and free of defects. It looked impressive when we unpacked it and felt like a quality piece of hardware. The following comments come directly from my son who plays it daily. Pros. The valves move freely, oil doesn’t drip out of valves, it has a good sound, and its easy to tune. Cons. The Velcro on the case handle wears out quickly and the handle likes to get caught in zipper. This is a minor inconvenience and in no way hinders it from doing its job of protecting the trumpet during daily trip to and from school. All in all I am satisfied with the purchase and would recommend this instrument to parents looking to provide their beginning to intermediate level child with a quality instrument to play. I believe this trumpet will last him through high school. Disclaimer: I am not a brass instrument player myself. This review is based on my judgment of quality and the positive reviews from my son and those who play with him. The case flaws is what kept it from being a 5 star review. I would buy another one if needed and currently considering a Jean Paul Trombone.

I haven’t played since High School, 40 years ago. So just getting my chops back in shape. I decided to buy this after being inspired by a review on Amazon. Nice sounding. Easy to play. Vavles are smooth as heck. Beautiful too. Reminds me of the silver Yamaha trumpet I had in High School, but I think this Jean Paul is better. I think it is worth every penny. I got it on a one year payment plan, so only paying $50/month and no interest, which makes it even more attractive.

This trumpet is beautifully made. Bought it for my 8 yo daughter who had a Prelude TR711 which we aren’t too happy about. This came nicely packaged with two white gloves, a polishing cloth, valve oil, a Jean Paul 7c mouthpiece, plus a maintenance book which other trumpets don’t usually come with. These are all big pluses.
The black canvas carrying case is accented with faux leather handles. The bag alone weighs a bit under 3 lbs which is light but sturdy and water resistant. It has removable and adjustable bag straps to convert the canvas carrying case into a back pack or you can carry it with shoulder straps or take the straps off completely and just hand carry it with its faux leather handles. The carrying case has a big front pocket for extra storage.
This Jean Paul TR-430 is much lighter than the Prelude TR-711 so it is easier to handle yet sounds so much better too. A mouthpiece holder is built into case.
Another great thing about this TR430 Jean Paul trumpet is that the valves are very responsive. It bounces back so much quickly compared to most trumpets we have seen in the market. It might be because of lighter materials which incredibly helps without compromising sound quality.
It has two spit valves with clear rubber stoppers where other trumpets have cork stoppers on their spit valves which wear out and rot then fall off overtime. I like the clear rubber on the spit valve. It makes its much more classy, much more hygienic and it is the little details such as this that tells you they put a lot of thought into their product.
The shipping was also fast. Faster than I expected. I didn’t purchase it with prime so delivery was suppose to take 5-10 days. But as I watch the tracking via UPS ground, delivery took the shortest time possible which was only 4 days. I placed my order Sunday afternoon. Received the trumpet Thursday. That was fast.
There are so many reasons to love this trumpet. But to top it all off, they have the best support in the industry. There is always somebody ready to help you on the other line. You have a question, just unsure of what trumpet to get or perhaps a problem with your trumpet, they are always there for their customers.
I spoke with Enrique from Jean Paul and he gave me his cell phone number so I can get in touch with him regardless of where he is (in vacation) or what time of day it is (at night or on his day off) just to make sure I can reach him if I am not happy or if there’s a problem with my purchase. They go the extra mile with sincerity. And that sold me. I was considering to purchase a Bach and the manufacturer says the support covered by the warranty is provided by the dealer. And when I met with our local dealer in person they told us they only cover 90 days of warranty. The trumpet they’re selling us had very slow valves and that isn’t covered by the warranty regardless of how much proper cleaning and oiling we did. Our local dealer although we dealt with them in person were very impersonal and indifferent. Jean Paul maybe be across the miles, we may be states apart but they treat you like family. They make you feel that they’re right there ready to help you at any time. The product sells itself. But their support is even better.
UPDATE: We have this trumpet for 3 years now. Bought it in 2018 and now it’s 2021. Service is excellent. We have lost an ivory button for the valves and and the rubber pad for the spit valve also came off and lost it. They have mailed us replacements for the PARTS at NO CHARGE just pay for shipping costs. Thank you JEAN PAUL USA!!!
