As far as I know, this instrument is made in India. So far, I have not seen any quality brass instruments come out of that country. Also beware of instruments made in China. They are of extremely poor quality.

If you are just starting out on trumpet, it would be best to have a good instrument. It is hard to do well if the instrument is junk. Good used trumpets to look for are Olds (Ambassador), King, & Getzen. If you are looking to upgrade, then Bach Stradivarius, Schilke, and Yamaha are good. But be careful, both Bach and Yamaha have professional models and students models. Check some of the big brass retailers like the Woodwind Brasswind (www.wwbw.com) to see descriptions of all different brands.

Good luck!

I've never heard of this brand. Is it for sale on e-bay? If so, I would doubt that it is "really good." You'd do better to buy an older Bach or Getzen and have it repaired.
