[quote=Anonymous]My opinion as a band director: The trouble with the cheap import instruments is that they produce a poor sound and are harder for the child to get right. And as someone previously stated, its too difficult and Becomes frustrating so they quit. We've had kids buy these $100 horns, damage them, and then our repair tech has to tell the parents that the horn is basically scrapped. You often can't repair them which ends up costing you more than if you'd gone with a reputable brand in the first place. Young children are very rough on horns. Check pawn shops and Craigslist for great used brands that will last: Conn Selmer, Yamaha, etc. Your director should be able to recommend a few great options. Most repairs that may be needed are minor. Good luck! [/quote]
