Used quality is the way to go for beginners (and others!) NEVER rent and don't buy Chinese junk. I got a vintage Evette & Schaefer Master (E13 Master) on auction. Got it overhauled. I have ~$280 US in it. Also got a a vintage Evette (E11) same way and overhauled for ~$240 total. Just got a CUESNON MONOPOLE CONSERVATOIRES for $206 US delivered. It needs no overhaul - already has new pads/cork, but could use polishing on keys. I may go ahead and get that done and have it tuned and still have only $300 in it.

All of these can certainly be resold for very little loss, if not actually a gain. Best to buy in summer (U.S., that is) during the price "doldrums" as I did with these, and then resell closer to Christmas.

Done every bit as well with vintage trumpets/cornets for wife. Also got vintage Blessing Super Artist trombone for daughter. I know someone cited Blessing as brand to avoid. Not sure of modern-day Blessings, but Clifford Brown played a Blessing Super Artist (trumpet of course) which is top of the line pro quality.
