Outstanding Student Trumpet Oct 13, 2008
By Paul
I purchased the LJ Hutchen brand trumpet from Hyson Music for my middle-school aged son and am extremely satisfied with the product. This trumpet is a quality instrument with excellent tone and smooth valve action. As someone who has played a vintage Reynolds trumpet for about 30 years, I can tell you that the LJ Hutchen is an excellent instrument for the beginning or intermediate musician. It also came in an attractive and sturdy case. In my experience, you will not find a better quality trumpet anywhere near this price range. My hat is off to LJ Hutchen company. I will also add that the folks at Hyson music shipped it REALLY fast. I ordered via Amazon on Monday night and had the trumpet on my doorstep on Thursday morning (in VA). It has been a great purchase in every respect, and my son is glad to have a shiny new trumpet!

I'll Toot This Horn Feb 24, 2010
By Trot Aceman
I played trumpet for years in high school and college, and I had an old Doc Severinsen model that I had a crystal clear beautiful sound with. Several years ago, I purchased an inexpensive trumpet and it sounded like garbage. I've decided to get back into playing again. Based on the reviews, I decided to go "cheap" and try this one. By "cheap" I mean as compared to the $500+ I could spend on what I knew would be a high quality instrument.
The other users are right on target about the valves being turned funny in the chambers, but that's easy to fix. Simply unscrew the tops of each valve chamber (not the stem itself), and turn them until they click. When seated properly, air should be able to be blown freely through the trumpet with all the valves up. If not, simply try turning them again. With a good eye you can line up the holes in the valves with the trumpet.
The trumpet ships with valve oil, and the slides are clearly well greased and ready for action. I took it out of the case, adjusted the valves as noted, blew through it for about 2 minutes to warm it up, and then produced a sound equivalent to my beautiful old Doc Severinsen. The valves work easily, the slides slide gracefully, and the most important piece is the sound quality is amazing.
As if all that wasn't enough, I ordered the item, and it was on my doorstep within 3 business days.
If you have a youngster just starting out, or are getting back into it like I am, or need a good concert quality trumpet without spending a thousand dollars, this is the horn for you!

Fine starter Oct 08, 2008
By Michael Billig
Although I do play music, I am not a trumpet player. But I bought this instrument for a 9-year-old boy who is just beginning to play. He loves this trumpet, and I love hearing him play. He is making amazing progress. The instrument sounds wonderful, is solidly constructed, and easy to maintain. I think that it is a perfect choice and a fantastic value. I love the fact that the man behind the Hutchen concept is so committed to the musical education of young people. I will recommend Hutchen instruments to other parents.

Fine first trumpet for young band student May 09, 2008
By MG
My 6th grader begged for his own (rather than rental) trumpet for his first year in band. This instrument has proven a fine investment at a very modest price. The tone is fine and the trumpet has many features that are appreciated by players with smaller hands, including a secure finger grip hold. My son's private instructor trained at Juilliard and agreed that given the price, you just can't beat this instrument. It is head and shoulders above similarly priced instruments.

Great company, great product, great service. This is the one you want! Nov 18, 2008
By G. Mauzy
I purchased this trumpet in Sept. for my son after doing some diligent Internet research on affordable trumpets. I didn't want to rent-to-own a Jupiter and pay more than $850 through the school rental program. After talking to every parent, music teacher and music store person I could find about what to look for in a quality trumpet, I took a chance on the LJ Hutchen trumpet and received it three days later thanks to fast shipping. I recently had it evaluated by a master instrument repairman at the local university with more than 25 years of experience and he said it was a quality instrument from top to bottom and was impressed by its construction. I also spoke with the company's repair tech. whose dad started the family-owned L.J. Hutchen company and he was completely conversational and accomodating and encouraged me to call anytime I had a question or needed anything. Very unusual service in these days of outsourcing customer service. The 2-year warranty provides peace of mind on top of the good service. The naysayers said it couldn't be done - getting a quality, new trumpet for less than $250 and L.J. Hutchen proves them wrong. If you crave inexpensive quality like me, this is the one you want!

The event was simply billed as "Willie Nelson Sings the Blues," but the historic two-night stand on January 12 and 13, 2007 at Jazz at Lincoln Center was far more than that. Call it a summit meeting between two American icons, Willie Nelson & Wynton Marsalis, two of the most significant figures in modern-day country and jazz, who discovered common ground in their love for jazz standards and the blues. Their performance stirred the sounds of New Orleans, Nashville, Austin and New York City into a brilliantly programmed mix that was equal parts down-home and cosmopolitan, with plenty of swing and just a touch of melancholy. To say that these shows were a hot ticket would be an understatement. Luckily, the tapes were rolling and the results of this unique collaboration now constitute the Blue Note album Two Men With The Blues for everyone who couldn't cram into The Allen Room.
