I've got a trumpet (YTR-6320) from the 80s I bought used a bit back. It looks beat to hell but it just sings! It's as light as a feather aswell- I can play with one hand in my pocket.

Media-wise, I love some old 1930s swing and jazz tracks. It's super interesting to hear how similar some songs are to modern music.

That's freaking awesome! Trumpet is so cool, I have one that I wanna learn to play someday.

Hell yeah! It's a tough instrument, but it's the most expressive one (in my opinion). Trumpets always sound like the person who's playing them, almost like an extension of your personality. I think there's something wonderful about that.
