| I do not totally agree that a beginner will sound bad on an expensive horn the same as they will on a professional one. About a year ago I was teaching my nephew who is a beginner student. His mother was with him but not in the same room we were playing. I let him play my trumpet, which was a 37 bach at that time. Of course he still sounded like himself, but there was enough improvement in his intonation and sound that even his mother noticed. Many of us have played student model horns and we can make them sound good but it is a lot more work. Begginers have enough trouble trying to make any horn sound good, having to struggle with a inferior horn makes it that much more difficult. My nephew got a used LA benge for about $600 better than any student horn he could have bought new.
