The "Bible of Trumpet" in a great new edition! Oct 16, 2008
As a trumpet player and studio teacher, I have been using the Arban book for over 25 years. The comb binding alone, which allows the book to lay flat on the music stand, makes this book worth the additional expense. The CD of 10 of the 12 Fantasies is a nice bonus feature, but I find I don't use it that much.
For those unfamiliar with Arban's text, here is an excerpt from Trumpet 101: A Reference Manual For Trumpet Players that gives a brief overview of the book:
The Arban's Complete Conservatory Method for Trumpet was written in 1864 by Jean-Baptiste Arban (1825-1899), professor of cornet at the Paris Conservatoire and the first true virtuoso of the instrument. Since its initial publication, the book has never been out of print. This book is truly "the Bible of Trumpet" as it has everything in it that you need to develop any and every skill necessary to play the trumpet well.
If you are serious about becomming a better trumpet player, this book is an absolute must. If you only purchase one method book, make it this one and you won't be sorry upgrading to this Platnium Edition.

A Recommended Edition Aug 17, 2008
I have been using this book in my daily practice since I purchased it a month ago. The Arban's method is a tried-and-tested set of progressive exercises that encompass a wide range of brass techniques such as long tones, flexibility, and phrasing. Exciting material can be found by both beginners and advanced players alike.
The accompaniment CD is a helpful tool for anyone looking to rehearse with a virtual accompanist, although this offers no flexibility within tempi, and cadenzas become tricky with the guesswork associated with the disc's timing.
Some notable points about this volume that I found most impressive:
*Updated introduction section
*"Historically accurate" tempo markings for each exercise
*Footnotes for further reading
*Bold, easy to read typeface
*Attractive presentation with comb binding
*The original Arban's introduction, featured at the back of the volume, printed in its entirety.
All in all, I feel that I could not have been more satisfied with the quality of this product. I found the price to be great (I am a tuba player, and the "tuba specific" version of this book is nearly twice the price of the Arban's Platinum Edition), and I received the contents of my order on time and in perfect condition.

Great edition of a great volume! May 15, 2008
This book is by almost all accounts the Bible of the trumpet world. It is comprehensive, and cognitive in its presentation. There are several hundred pages of practice score and a good amount of comments to guide.
This particular edition is a worthwhile purchase as it is spiral comb bound, so it lays open better, it is chock full of updated, editorial comments that explain and clarify some of the things Arban said that don't apply or possibly don't, and it includes a cd with accompaniment for the practices in the book.
Great book, well worth the price!
