The Cheapest Trumpet on Amazon | Band Director Reviews

Wondering if a cheap Amazon trumpet is actually playable? I did, so I decided to buy and review the Mendini by Cecilio trumpet, which is currently the cheapest trumpet you can buy on Amazon.com.

The trumpet I review in this video...

Tuner/Metronome- https://amzn.to/3TNRLcv (or use a phone if your child has one, I use the app "Tunable" and love it)

A quick note- the Mendini horn seems to jump between $70 to $130ish depending on when you look at it and what color you are looking at. If you are set on getting one I would wait until it is "on sale". When I made the video is was $63, and then next week it jumped up to $140 (or something like that) and as of writing this description it's $75. Don't think you missed an opportunity if it jumps up in price, it will inevitably come back down.

For comparison, here is a fantastic student trumpet that I would easily recommend anyone, but it's not cheap by any means...
