A note, however.?? The mouthpieces that come with these trumpets are  *%@#.??
Get a good cornet or trumpet mouthpiece at any music store.?? The  mouthpiece
will cost more than the horn itself, but is well worth it.?? Also,  the horns
come in two pieces, which helps in storage.

In case price is an issue: While I'm sure a more  expensive mouthpiece would 
indeed be preferable, I believe the trumpet  mouthpiece I bought to try for 
mine (a "student" mouthpiece) was only about  $12, at the music store around the 
corner. And yet it was still far  better than the tiny ornamental funnel 
object that came with the horn!  ;-)
...although, personally, I do still prefer my weird old  trusty French horn 
mouthpiece -- even if it does require the layer or  two of festive green saran 
wrap[tm] to help it fit snugly! :-)
