Bach TR300HS Student Bb Trumpet

Overview

Bach builds the TR300 as a student Bb trumpet with a silver plated finish and a two-piece bell with rim wire. Monel pistons with nylon valve guides work the valves, and a mouthpiece and case come with the horn.

The description is unusually complete for a student horn, naming the bore, bell, valve materials, hardware and waterkeys. Adjustable ring and stop hardware on the third slide and a thumb hook on the first aid hand position. No warranty or tone description is given.

Who it's for

Beginners and school band players who want clear specifications and a mouthpiece and case included. Players who need warranty terms, or a professional-level instrument, should look at other models.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Bore size and the two-piece bell govern response and projection, and the medium-large bore is stated plainly. Monel pistons with nylon guides and bronze springs govern valve feel. The adjustable third slide ring and stop, and the first slide hook, support hand position.
