We recommend that your trumpet be ultrasonic cleaned using a chemical bath especially formulated to remove corrosion, mineral scale, and other foreign matter from the inside of a trumpet or cornet.
Crone Trumpet Repair & Sales is now offering this service (which we have been providing to our local customers for 10 years) to our Internet Customers.

We are members of NAPBIRT – the National Association of Professional Band Instrument Repair Technicians, and we get involved with other members to share best practices and techniques through discussions, seminars, and training. Excellent playing quality is always paramount at Crone Trumpet. (Continued...)

(Click here to jump to the bargain-trumpets-for-sale list.)

The bargain horns listed on the ‘bargain-trumpets-for-sale’ page are used trumpets and/or cornets that have not been relacquered and may contain some lacquer wear and dings, scratches, or finish blemishes that have not been fixed.  However, they have all been chemically cleaned in an ultrasonic bath, major dents have been removed, tuning slides have been freed and valve alignment has been checked and new felts installed.

Reconditionng is a practical approach to providing a student trumpet that looks good and plays correctly. It is not a restoration of the trumpet to a “like new’ condition.

A like new restoration takes about 3 times the labor and time and according to the prices listed on the internet the cost is $450 or more.

So by taking a more economical approach, we can offer Student Trumpets that look good (but not like new) and play correctly at prices less than the cost of a “like new” restoration that is not practical for student trumpets.

Crone Trumpet has invested in a Dent Machine and all the special rollers so that we can do a professional job on straightening a crinkled or damage trumpet bell.

Unless the bell is severely crinkled it can usually be straightened to its original shape without leaving any marks on the lacquer or silver finish.

Our NAPBIRT trained repairman has attended NAPBIRT classes and seminars that included Dent Machine use and special trumpet repair techniques.

Feree Dent Machine

In addition, he has attended a Dent Machine Seminar at the Farree’s Tool plant in Battle Creek, Michigan.

Since the Dent Machine uses polished rollers with adjustable pressure, it eliminates the need ro use dent hammers and burnishers so the finish is usually unmarked by the process. However, the lacquer or silver finished is often marked by the dent itself but the lubricated rollers will not add to this damage like a dent hammer or burnisher might.

At the end of the listing for each trumpet is a PayPal Button, when you click on this payPal Button it will take you to the PayPal website. And, even if you do not have an active PayPal account, you can use PayPal to pay by using a credit card or an echeck from your bank account. We usually are notified of a payment being made within an hour and trumpets are normally shipped by UPS Ground within 3 days after payment is received.

Trumpet Stands

A trumpet stand is a convenient and safe way to store your horn during practice, rehearsal, and gigs. However, because the trumpet is placed near the floor, its can be inadvertently kicked. For this reason, we recommend using a five leg trumpet stand. Please visit our article on five leg trumpet stands by clicking on the picture below.

Valve Oil for Trumpets

Valve oil is a necessary part of daily trumpet maintenance. The valves of a trumpet have very close tolerances which requires lubrication to cushion metal-to-metal contact, prevent wear, and prohibit corrosion. Valve oils come in a variety of formulations and viscosity. You may have to try several until you find your favorite. Please visit our valve oil page by clicking on the picture below.

How to Oil Trumpet Valves

NAPBIRT, the National Association of Professional Band Instrument Repair Technicians, has produced an excellent video on the correct way to oil the piston valves on a trumpet.

The video addresses these questions.

• How often should you oil the valves in your trumpets?
• What does valve oil do?
• Why use valve oil?
• Are their alternative ways to oil the valves?
• Which valve oil is best?

A hard trumpet case protects your trumpet much better than a soft-case. We’re very pleased with the quality of this trumpet hard trumpet case.

Crone Trumpet, aka Trumpet4u.com, has many advantages over a “store front” music store.

Trumpets for less due to low overhead.

Trumpet4u.com is your online internet trumpet store. An online store has very low overhead. There is no need to pay for retail display space, and items can be shipped directly from the shop. This creates significant savings that can be passed on to the consumer. So, even a family run businesses or sole-proprietorship can compete with much larger, store-front competitor.
