There is some psychology involved here that no one seems to be mentioning. Pride of ownership is a powerful thing. The turning point for me when I was a kid was when my father bought me a used tuba. Waking up in the morning and seeing that thing there made me want to play. Ownership also makes you want to take care of the instrument. Look for an Olds or a King or a Conn. They are out there for less than a thousand, and can usually be put into good playing condition without too much effort. My experience has been that a decent used instrument by a reputable maker can usually be re-sold after a few years for more than you paid for it.
