[TPIN] Which Bb trumpet is best for high school?

[Abloncotpin at aol.com]

I would not buy a new horn for a high schooler anyhow, unless the student  
absolutely showed a lot of promise.  Then, I would insist on the student  using 
a beater horn for marching and other high risk activities.  
 
There are plenty of nice playing used horns out there that are good  values.  
If you wanted a Bach but were concerned about the strike, there  are lots of 
horns from the 70s, 80s and 90s to choose from.
