Welcome to TrumpetBoards. You apparently have been on a challenging journey. Hopefully we will be able to help you along the way. While a few self-taught trumpet players, such as Uan Rasey, have succeeded tremendously, most self-taught trumpet players develop habits that must be unlearned and relearned properly in order for them to advance without undue difficulty. Feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Welcome to TrumpetBoards!
Although I'm not familiar with this design/manufacturer, it appears to be thoughtfully designed, and the quality of construction appears to be first-rate. How does it play?
Don't be concerned about your English; it's just fine.
