How does the jean paul tr-330 compare to the tr-430? features? construction? sound?

I briefly owned the TR-330 before upgrading to the TR-430. They’re both WAAAAAY better than the price tags suggests. However, the materials, build quality and playability on the 430 are so good it is more than worth the little bump in price. The valves are RIDICULOUSLY good! As good as or better than many $3,000 trumpets I’ve played at music stores. The tri-color look of the 430 is gorgeous too. I get regular compliments. My primary trumpet is now the TR-860 and the TR-430 is my backup. I was so impressed with the 430 I just HAD to try out the professional version. As expected, it blew my mind in that too-good-to-be-true kind of way, where you wonder what you’re missing. I cannot explain to you how these are so inexpensive, but I am glad they are. The price point allowed me to get my hands on much better gear than I thought I could. Playing is pure joy. Like the 430, the 860’s valves are among the smoothest and fastest you will find at any price point. In case you’re curious, I use the Dennis Wick valve lube with PTFE. Works perfectly with these trumpets in my experience.

Why is the silver trumpet $100 more than the brass? Thanks!

Adding a silver layer to the trumpet is more expensive.

is the trumpet durable? will the valves not stick for a while?

My daughter had a brand new Prelude TR711 for a week and the valves start to stick. The local distributor says that the normal wear and tear that's why you need to lubricate it. But we had this Jean Paul for 5 months now and it never stick not even once and my daughter uses it 2x a week for an hour. We've lubricated the valves once which came with the trumpet just for the heck of it.

Does it come with a third slide stopper

It has a screw that prevents the third slide from falling out.
