Leaks, Dents, and Corrosion, Oh, My!

No trumpet is going to be Ideal, even sitting in the shop. You must be sure that there aren't any visible signs of damage on the trumpet before you buy. Small dents and corrosion will cause shorter shelf life and will sound lousy.


Can you see any damages on the trumpet? Talk to the sales guy about it first. Learn what happened and why. Maybe someone returned it. Someone else may have put it back on the shelf without even looking at the harms . Trumpets with visible signs of damage shouldn't be offered on the floor until they are repaired.

Warranties

Good products come with a Warranty, including trumpets. Talk to the sales guy about a guarantee if it's not being advertised. Some music shops do not publicly advertise their warranties. That's the reason you must bring this up.


What types of warranties Do they offer? Will they take the instrument back if something goes wrong? Can they switch it out for something different? These are the types of questions that you should learn before you agree to purchase something.

The worst thing that you could Do is purchase a trumpet without a warranty. Taking it back to the shop will prove next to impossible because they won't accept it.
