Is the Blessing XLT a good trumpet for a student today? Can someone tell me about this type of trumpet?

Answer 1

I don't know many people who think Blessings are making good trumpets. Better for the money for a student is a Getzen 300 series or King 600 series. These are bullet-proof and time tested instruments that you should look for used. Either one should cost around $250-400 and keep their value very well. The Kings usually sell a little cheaper than the Getzens.
