The Etude ETR-200 trumpet's medium-large bore makes for easy-playing and free-blowing horn, and its red brass leadpipe and bell keep its response warm and tone production well centered. The solder points are all solid and the materials are of good quality.

There are a lot of imported student instruments, but Etude is consistently met with favorable reviews from students and directors alike. The primary areas of intonation, tone production and reliable valve action all excel in the ETR-200. The ETR-200 comes with case and mouthpiece. Etude instruments are known for their ability to stand up to the occasional harsh treatment student instruments sometimes undergo.
