hey im new here, I am a jazz drummer and jazz pianist and am now looking to learn the trumpet. i played trumpet for one year in fourth grade and know a few of the basics. i am now in tenth grade. i am wondering, wat would be a good jazz trumpet price ranging from $600-900

No such thing as a good jazz trumpet just a good player!

haha, very true

Zavala1,

You might like to try asking this question on the trumpetherald forum. There are lots of posts about this sort of thing, and it leans towards the American market.

For the money you're talking about I think in order to get a good quality instrument you're going to have to look into the secondhand market. If you insist on new you might be able to get a Yamaha 6310Z (now discontinued) for a bargain price.

Regards,

Mark.

According to the local Yamaha shop the 6310Z is still available - fuzzy-felt said it is discontinued - However your brass/trumpet teacher should be the person to get assistance from. My son uses a Yamaha YTR 4355 and plays regualy in a Jazz Band, he has used this for two years and is v. happy with it. (appx 400 pounds sterling)

The weight of the trumpet is important also as I dont know how old you are as 10th grade means nothing to me in England if you are young the trumpet gets heavier and heavier as you play and you struggle to keep the bell up after a couple of hours practise/play.

The Yamaha Xeno is expensive (1,500 pounds sterling) but has a great sound ! This is the one my 40 year old husband recently got and boy it rocks!
