What is the best trumpet to consider with a £3,500 budget?

Answered by Roadie
The Bach Stradivarius 180S43 Trumpet Silver is worth considering at £3,442 new, within a £3,500 budget. It is the only trumpet in the supplied selection, so there is not enough evidence to call it the best overall.
The Bach Stradivarius 180S43 Trumpet Silver leaves £58 from a £3,500 budget at the supplied best new price. Before buying, try it if possible and confirm what the seller includes rather than assuming you need additional accessories.
If you want a separate mouthpiece, the Denis Wick Maurice Murphy MM4C Silver Plated is £100 and the Yamaha Allen Vizutti Gold Plated is £114. Either would take the total beyond £3,500; choose by playing comfort and suitability rather than finish alone.
For alternatives, consult the Best-value used saxophones and wind instruments list. It is a relevant starting point for comparing used options, though no individual used trumpets or prices are supplied here.
