Hi everyone. I am new here, and I like what I have seen so far. I have been playing acoustic for a couple of years, and am always looking for ways to improve. I also play the trumpet, and drums.

Wow, fighting over a chic with cookies and Jell-o. I have a feeling I have come to the right place.
Thanks for the welcoming!

Nice. Silver trumpets look so much better than gold adonized ones. In my country, yamaha is very expensive with wind instruments. Veeery. Well, never the less. Welcome aboard. At least now, if I have some problems with trumpet, I know who to turn to. ;)

I like the silver better too. I learned on a gold one, and after about 6 years it faded in color and just looked awful.
Yamaha here is a pretty cheap instrument with a few exceptions. I had a yamaha guitar once that had incredible tone. My brother plays a yamaha sax that he hates. What country are you in?

Mine looks like someone tossed it from 6th floor... :D
But it serves the purpose. Tone is pretty much ok, maybe a little bright, but all together, it is ok. I make money with it, so...
I am from Croatia. Central Europe, that would be. Of course, cheap is a very subjective term... When I saed expensive, I meant compared to other firms that make wind instruments. Trombones made by Yamaha are especially expensive here.

Welcome to our humble abode. I used to play the trumpet when I was much younger. I always heard that trumpet players were the best kissers. Not sure how true that is, but I'd like to think there's some truth in it ;)
