Keep the blessing for marching, cuz it might get beat up, from what happened to my friend's flute.

I got my Conn used for $100. I don't know how much a new one would run you, but it's a great horn to learn on.

Hello, i have a suggestion. I would personally reccoment the barrington F attachment trombone. Its only 430.00 dollars and that is a VERY cheap price for a trombone with a f attacment. i know what your thinking a f attachment trombone for that price MUST be crap. but! i own one and seriously its the best trombone iv ever played. There is only 1 problem with it. buy a new nouthpeice for it, the mouthpeice it comes with is NOT good, it will make the trombone sound bad, but its only the mouthpeice.

heres a link: http://www.wwbw.com/Barrington-BRG202F-F-Attachment-Trombone-i125963.music

p.s heres my msn, im always interested in talking to fellow t-boners.

Hmmmm.... Just looking at those Barrington horns...

The first thing I would say is, where is their website? Any good horn manufacturer would have their home page easily accessible from Yahoo! or Google. No such luck.

Also, I can't find where they are made. But for that price, I would guess they are Chinese. In that case, unless you are only using it for high school band playing and not much else, I would run away. You can get MUCH better quality for very little more in a used horn from a major and respected manufacturer.

To me, not having played one but being experienced in the cheap horn thing, I would say it is a second rate knockoff of a major brand. Good for beginning and early intermediate playing, but thats it. You gonna play beyond high school? Get something better.

I have had the horn since highschool, and have already gone thrue university.

I would not give advise on trombones unless i knew what i was talking about.
