i read many good reviews for this. it looks like something that i could learn on and would still be able to use once or if i get good enough to jam live. for $640 it seems like a good deal. what do you guys think?

the model you are refering to is a Bb trumpet right?
Whatever you do. DO NOT BUY THERE FLUGEL! I had one, and the first valve was so out of tune it was unplayable. I sent it back. I know several people who had this problem with there flugels. On the other hand, I know a wonderful player in my town that plays on a Blessing trumpet. It's a great horn, at least when I played it I thought so, and he has had it for many many years.
Hope that helps
Play it BEFORE you buy it ALWAYS! and $640 for a trumpet is a great deal if it plays well. Best wishes

Your post on the same subject on the General Discussion board is getting more play. Too bad they can't be combined so we don't repeat ourselves or miss something.
