Try holding each option before deciding what suits your hands and goals. Consignment Music Collierville, Yarbrough's Music, and Amro Music Stores are places to see horn options. Ask the lesson teacher to help compare fit and playability. At home, keep the horn safely supported, wipe it after playing, and arrange regular care for valves and slides.
