If your boyfriend is playing seriously and for years, may be he will like a good horn, you could find something second hand. Problem is, you need a good trumpet player to test it before you buy it. A good looking horn could be bad, and a bad looking horn really good for the price.
A friend buyed this: THOMANN TR 400 G BB-TROMPETE - U.K. International Cyberstore

and i think it was very good FOR THE MONEY ( 150 euros!!!!!! ).
An instrument is something very important and personal if he studies seriously, if not may be you will have no problem buying any horn, but this is a very risky thing.
