TRUMPETS

While the slide trumpet isn't a common choice for beginning trumpet students, it could be a wise choice for slide trombone players looking to better their skills on a valved instrument or for trumpeters interested in expanding their range with a lower-pitched instrument.

Trumpet players looking to add some variety to their sound and take on a new challenge can find slide trumpets that ditch the valve setup completely. Though not recommended for a beginning trumpeter, the slide trumpet can be a great second instrument for experienced jazz players to expand their sound.
