Welcome fellow Trumpet Players ! Beginner, Student and Pros!
CarolBrass® Authorized USA Dealer since 2011
Owner: Dean Taylor
I have been selling trumpets online since 1998 on my websites and eBay. I have been playing trumpet for 55 years. I specialize in custom, high quality, new and used, and sometimes hard to find specialty incredible rare / condition trumpets. I am also big on awesome affordable great condition used student horns for the beginner . Of the hundreds of trumpets that I have sold since 1998, I personally examine each one and test play to insure quality and my customers satisfaction.
I am pleased to offer the continually highly rated and innovative CarolBrass line of trumpets. They are a trumpet manufacturing company that is absolutely staying ahead of the times! In addition to their best selling standard beginner, student and professional models, you can also custom order your trumpet with different styles, materials, lead pipes, bell tapers, bell sizes, as well as finishes. What other trumpet maker lets you choose and order a custom horn AT NO EXTRA CHARGE!?? Well ... Kanstul was one of the few manufacturers that would build a custom horn however you wanted, but still pricey. Now they are out of business. So sad ... the end of an era.
So CarolBrass horns ... How do they play? These horns have just the right amount of resistance, great ease of blow in the high range, excellent intonation and slotting. Great horns, at prices 1/2 of the BIG BOX competition. I offer a conditional 100% money back guarantee as well. (see Terms and Conditions).
As an authorized CarolBrass USA dealer, I can order ANY product that you see on the CarolBrass.com company website. Here is the official WORKING live link to their site. https://www.carolbrass.com/ Explore ... and call me! I am happy to order a Pocket Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Slide Trumpet, Mini Trumpet, or even a Trombone for you !
I have a 24/7 online dealer access to CarolBrass products that are IN-STOCK at the CarolBrass factory in TAIWAN! I can tell you if your item choice is ready to be shipped/expedited to the USA, or if you will need to wait a bit for your horn to be custom manufactured especially for you. You can contact me directly via phone, text, or email regarding availability of ANY CarolBrass product.
Besides the awesome CarolBrass line up , l ONLY sell top name brand pre-owned used beginner / student and specialty vintage professional trumpets, such as Yamaha, Bach, Conn, Getzen and Olds to name a few. Look at the condition of my used student trumpets and you be the judge vs beat up ugly trumpets on eBay from sellers that can't even play a note. These brands that I carry are tried and true time proven quality built and play wonderfully. I have gone thru each one extensively including cleaning, disinfecting, lubrication and test playing. Sure, some have some tiny dings and/or scratches, but the player will NOT have to suffer with a poorly made cheap instrument that will give them problems or bad intonation. ALL slides, ALL valves work, nothing stuck, loose or leaking. I enforce that you are buying from a long time TRUMPET PLAYER ... not some eBay hack - know nothing yard sale/ estate sale / flea market person. Believe me, buying a used trumpet on eBay from a non-musician can be very problematic. I have been there - done that many many times ...and want to help YOU avoid that. I keep my used student beginner trumpets pretty reasonably priced and I stand behind my used trumpets! Shop with piece of mind here at TrumpetSpecialties.com. My goal on the used student trumpets is to get a quality instrument in the hands of young people so they can excel, thrive, and enjoy music to the fullest! I don't care if I only make $40.00 or so on a used trumpet. I am retired ... and now it's my time to give back to young musicians and parents. I WILL NOT sell any UGLY, crappy, non-playable, not reliable trumpets. Go to eBay to find those.
Please, please at all costs avoid the $99.95 and such NEW shiny eBay trumpets that are "Band Approved" / "Conductor Approved" / "Unbranded" / "School Band" / "Teacher approved" / "many colors available" / "Chrome Finish" / "Experts Choice" and come with a set of white gloves! Made in India and China are big red flags. --A V O I D -- I could list all the brands out there, but i don't want to get sued. .... but you get the point. These $100 trumpets will hinder the beginning player with sticky valves, and not in tune, can't hit the high notes every trumpet player wants, early corrosion and finish problems, and their enthusiasm ... the smile on a students face dwindles quickly when they can't play their pretty shiny new horn and want to throw it across the room! AVOID these problems at all costs.
Here is my " import " scenario. Trumpets made in Taiwan are high quality, no compromises, and affordable. Actually, JUPITER trumpets made in Taiwan are a good quality instrument as well ... that I don't mind telling you about... but at this time, I do not carry. Trumpets made in India and China are after cheap, bulk sale, poor quality, just after a profit and no reliable guarantees. I have test marketed quite a few of those and they were non-returnable ( sledge hammer ) metal scrapper horns worth $7.22 cents. Live and learn.... passing this info to you.
As you can see from this purposely long opening home page, Trumpet Specialties is no ordinary big box commercial auto-respond trumpet selling website. I put this big ramble on page one, to enforce to my customers, that with TrumpetSpecialties.com you deal directly with one enthusiastic honest old trumpeter, eager to get into your hands the best trumpet for you or your young student musician ... or get a best PRO CarolBrass horn for the aspiring intermediate player as well as Professional! Do I have all the answers? = .... not. BUT I WILL DO MY BEST ! Let's chat.
I absolutely believe that our young instrumentalists and musicians are our future. Without them... our music future is doomed to electronically generated sounds and computers. Many thanks for stopping by and looking around. Please contact me if you have any questions about student trumpets, CarolBrass trumpets, or anything trumpet related. Get YOUR horn TODAY !! Like everything else ... prices and shipping costs are constantly on the rise !
Best,
Dean Taylor
