      Hi Jose, I greatly prefer the 4-hole system, but there are some incredible players that use 3-hole as well. My first instrument was a Keavey and I reaalllly like it. It is a fraction of the cost of other instruments and they offer all the crooks, lead pipes and yards, including the yards with no vent holes (likely something you will only use for practice but TOTALLY WORTH IT), for a very fair price. I would suggest starting with one of these. If you ever get an additional horn, it likely wont have all the keys (especially the low keys like Bb and A) so you will definitely get a lot of use out of it.
