Hello,
To keep this uner $300 you will be in the market for a cheap -made in China- trumpet. I'm not very familiar with them but I hear they are pretty bad in terms of workmanship and quality. I'm sure you can get a trumpet sound out of them (for at least a while) and if he is looking for a dirty sound this might be just the ticket
How serious is your boyfriend about the trumpet? People don't usually recommend trumpets from China here (from what I can tell) but if its just to mess around on once in a while maybe it will work.

Also, if it's possible, I'm trying to keep it under $300. Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations?
