I don't have a lot of experience with horns, so obviously I'm at a disadvantage. The horn has some features of a nicer "pro" horn and some features of a student horn. From my very limited experience, it certainly doesn't look like it's lacquered (mostly because of its very uniform color). But it doesn't make sense that a sub-$1000 horn would get the same treatment as $5k+ horn, and if it were plated then every guy to have had his hands on it would have vouched for it. At least one - my understanding the original retailer - did not.
In any case I knew I'd be out $30 for one month's rental at most, so it was worth the gamble. I'm certainly learning a lot! |
OK, so here's my guess: DEG, right in your backyard in Wisconsin!
They have a Dynasty line of marching instruments, and your trumpet looks very much like one of them. They play well, and you can't kill 'em, even on the field. Ask them if it's one of their stencils, they are very nice people to deal with.

Dynasty percussion. I don't think DEG has made brass instruments for a number of years.

I think they may have imported part or all of the trumpets, they do go back a number of years. Marching Baritones as well.
