Where are some other good places on the Web to buy a good cornet/trumpet for cheap besides ebay.com?

You will probably have a hard time finding a really inexpensive good horn from any of the internet dealers. Your best bet is to contact as many local dealers as you can and see if they have any rental return instruments for sale.

Keep watching E-bay. You can get a used Olds Ambassador Cornet for under $100. I have purchased several that I fixed up and donated to the local schools. I don't think I paid more than $60 for any of them. You just have to keep looking.

As far as dealer online are concerned, try www.dillonmusic.com. They usually have a large selection or used instruments. Not always inexpensive but good horns.

I would also recommend www.giardinelli.com. My experiences with them have been completely positive.

As mentioned Dillon Music is a great place to go...ebay is alright for used instruments.
