STR 25 Bb-Trumpet : Bought one 3 and half years ago

Bought it as i decided to join a local Marching band, easy instrument to learn, intonation is okay tends to become flat after F (top of the cleft) and both lower and higher notes can be hard to play for beginners, plus, they will be a bit out of tune.

Building quality is fine, i wouldn't expect anyone to own this instrument for longer than 2/3 years before progressing. 3 and half years later i will have to admit that the lacquer and pistons are in way much better condition than other instruments i bought from other brands.

Overall i'm happy to have started with this trumpet, accessible price that won't break your bank and you will be able to play traditional + marching music with no problem, concerts well not really. I'm keeping it as my field trumpet.
