How to Choose YOUR Ideal Instrument! | Trumpet Demystified Episode 6

Please consider supporting the Samuel Plays Brass channel on Patreon at:   / samuelplaysbrass  

The wild ride that is Trumpet Demystified is sadly coming to a close. Today, to end things off on an appropriate note, we are tying together our findings from episodes 2, 3, and 4. Picking out a new trumpet can be just as intimidating as it is exciting. There have been times in my life where I have felt that perhaps the choice I made in eighth grade was a mistake and that I'd have been better served with a different instrument. However, the huge amount of research and testing I have done have not only assured me that eighth-grade Sam made (mostly by virtue of good luck) a wonderful decision on which axe to settle down with, but that knowing what you're getting into is of paramount importance. So grab some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy as we discuss how YOU can go about selecting the right instrument for your needs and your style of playing!
