A closer look at the Stagg WS - TR245
In our opening spot, we have a good example from Stagg Music. It is beautifully made with a nice polished look achieved by a clear-lacquer finish. The bell has a nice curve to it and though it is smaller (less profound) than a regular trumpet can still accommodate a smaller mute.

Now for a cheap and cheerful option that won't disappoint. The PoTr-05 from Nasir Ali is a budget-friendly solution ideal for a budding beginner who wants to branch out.

| KEY FEATURES | |
+ Good valve and slide action. |
+ Well-presented. |
| WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
It is a nice model that is priced comfortably, nothing feels cheap on it. It has a nice weight and finish, the tone is warm and bright and it comes with its own trumpet case perfect for its smaller dimensions. |
It needs a liberal amount of lubrication but it is a good starter option to try before you commit to buying a higher-priced model. It would make a nice gift purchase for a younger instrument learner to help kindle their interest without a large investment. |
