Of course, some beginners are larger than other beginners! LOL. I was 6'4, 200# and 50 years of age when I started so the issue of being able to hold a trumpet didn't exist. Still, I enjoy hauling out the Eterna to play through some of the Arbans exercises and I REALLY wish I could convince more of our c.b. trumpet section to carry a cornet for when the part is marked "cornet"!
