Starting a musical journey with a reliable, quality trumpet is the key to a successful experience. Meyer Music offers brand-name student level trumpets as rent-to-own, matching teacher preferences with accessories included.
Step-Up Trumpets
As a player progresses, their instrument should match their growing skills. A student level trumpet is a great way to start a musical journey and a Step-Up trumpet will take a player even further.
Meyer Music offers an array of high-end trumpet brands, including Yamaha, Bach, B & S, Cannonball, Eastman, and Jupiter. As Michigan’s only Shokunin Yamaha dealer, their premier level, we also provide access to a wide range of advanced Yamaha options.
What is the difference?
MaterialsDesign
Student Trumpets are made of metals designed for affordability and durability, such as stainless steel pistons.
Step-Up Trumpets are available in silver plating for a brighter sound and are made of higher-grade materials, such as monel pistons for durability and nickel silver slides for smoother operation.
Student Trumpets are typically made with a machine-drawn, two-piece bell, making the trumpet more affordable.
Step-Up Trumpets may feature a one-piece, hand-hammered bell with fewer seams which creates better resonance.
Experience the Sound

We offer intermediate-level trumpets at all of our locations and our staff would be delighted to help your student try them out.
While no appointment is needed, feel free to let us know you’re planning to come in and we’ll ensure everything is ready for your visit.
For upper-level advancing students we also offer consultations during which we can answer your questions, guide you through test-playing, and advise on the technical elements of the instruments.
