A couple of places:
Boosey and Hawkes or McQueens
We currently use McQueens but I seem to remember being told we are switching to a new supplier. A borrowed one is fine for now, it is the mouthpiece that is important.Se a proper brass instructor and learn the correct techniques.

You can start on ebay Will. There's a good lot of them in there at the moment, old and new. Fortunately it's not a huge outlay for a musical instrument. Thank your lucky stars you're not looking for a tuba...
