  • Shocked And very pleased!
Color: Orange
Was definitely worth the wait. Ordered for my son as he has been playing for 10 years and wanted to add a pTrumpet to his vast collection. Extremely pleased in the quality and the sounds it puts out.

  • INNOVATIVE DESIGN - BUT DO NOT BUY THIS TRUMPET FOR YOUR CHILD!!!!!!!!
Color: Blue
First the obligatory credentials: I’m a lifetime professional trumpet player, professional musician and teacher. Started trumpet in 1957 at age 10 after 2 years of piano, and have played and practiced trumpet virtually every day of my life since. Am retired from performing now after a 45 year professional career on trumpet, and 39 years as a music educator and band director. In my teaching career I’ve taught 9000+ students from grade 4 through 12 and adults on most of the wind & percussion instruments and bass guitar. Throughout my playing career I’ve played all genres: Jazz, Classical, Pop, Rock, Baroque, even Polkas! Played mostly on the East coast and mostly in NJ and NY. I play lead and am a featured soloist. I play Trumpets in Bb, C, D, Eb and flugelhorn…Schilke, Bach, Yamaha, Selmer, & a vintage 1970 Couenon I bought new in 1970. Have a BA in Music Ed and a MA in Conducting and Composition. That’s enough, just say I’m an experienced trumpet player and musician. Have heard about plastic TRs for a while. After watching a few YouTube play-test/reviews I decided to check a couple out for myself. I like new innovative stuff and they’re cheap! Always thought it would be fun, and a bit of stage-craft, to have a Blue Trumpet for playing some Blues...already have a Blue Plunger! The GOOD: The pTrumpet is a very interesting, innovative design. Its engineering is unique. It actually blows nicely, somewhat similar to my main horn, a Schilke X3, up to high C but is a little stuffy up to G above. That's expected. It’s extremely light but feels quite chunky in the hands. Right hand position on the valves feels awkward. Intonation was OK. Think one could learn to play it in tune with sufficient careful practice time. The BAD: The 3rd valve on the horn I received stuck continually making the horn totally unplayable at any speed, thus totally useless. I followed the enclosed instructions and tried it dry at first. No good, stuck every 2nd or 3rd press. I cleaned the valve carefully and oiled it lightly (as per the instructions) with Blue Juice Valve Oil and it was exactly the same, constantly sticking. Part of the unique design is that all 3 valves are exactly the same and interchangeable, which is actually a great idea. So, I switched the valves around several times, but nothing helped stop the 3rd valve sticking problem. Tried several different finger positions and playing very slowly to be sure I wasn’t pressing at an angle, but that didn't help either. Thus, this particular pTrumpet is not good for anything but maybe making a cool looking lamp. I returned it for a refund after trying it on and off during my regular daily practice routine for 3 days. IF the manufacturer could improve the valve situation it could be a fun novelty horn, preferably for an experienced player who knows how to compensate for its intonation issues. GIVING THIS INSTRUMENT TO A BEGINNING STUDENT, OF ANY AGE, WOULD BE HORRIBLE!!! Trying to learn to play trumpet with this horn would be devastating to a new student and for their parents. Spend a little more $ and get something better. Sometime you get what you pay for…that’s especially true with musical instruments. ... show more

  • So grateful for this product!
Color: Blue
I bought this trumpet (blue) for my 18-year old son who spent the semester in Ireland. Not wanting to travel with his $3,000 Bach Stradivarius abroad, he left his trumpet at home. He was so happy to receive this, because he had missed playing so much. He said that it performs very well, and was even able to make a couple of recordings with it. This was the best investment we could have made for him, and I am so grateful for the great value of this excellent product that brought my son so much joy when he was missing his trumpet - and his home. ... show more

  • Fun trumpet to practice on- warm sound
Color: Blue
My husband got this for me as a Christmas gift, and I was delighted! I keep this out of the case on a stand and I like how it looks and that I don't have to worry about the kids dinging it (as I would for one of my professional trumpets). I can have it handy for practicing when I am in that part of the house. Nice for long tones and exercises- especially in the mid/upper ranges. The sound on this for me is warmer than on my other trumpets, a nice change. Came with a nice case and 3C and 5C mouth pieces. The lower range is a little tricky for me on this, but perhaps if I improve the low range on this trumpet, it will translate to better performance on my other trumpets. The valves seems slightly further apart on this, but it is still very comfortable to hold. ... show more

  • Not bad for plastic!
Color: Blue
I love that it will never corrode! Keys sometimes get a little sticky. But nothing a bath can’t cure. I can play in the rain without care! Downside- it seems to have developed cracks in two of the pistons . But that doesn’t really seem to affect its playability. It is a bit more resistant than my vintage Olds Aristocrat. But still a fun stress free instrument to leave out and play for a minute here or there. Just remember to swab it out after use so it doesn’t become a science experiment inside! ... show more

  • Ordered Blue, Got Red, Don't Care, Still Happy
It's a good instrument, I enjoy playing it and it works great. Disappointed I didn't get blue, which is what I ordered. I got red, but it's no big deal. I'm finding it's a little pitchy but easy to fix pitch issues with embouchure. Great in most ranges but takes effort to produce a characteristic trumpet sound - but it is possible. Not a replacement for a brass trumpet (but I don't think anybody has intended for that), but is fun to play. Great price for the overall experience. ... show more

  • DO NOT BE TEMPTED Major Disappointment! Especially valves.
Color: Blue
I was hoping to love this and am so disappointed. The sound is very inconsistent, but the real problem is the valves. So I will start there. The valves are TERRIBLE. I don't mean not real smooth or a little sluggish. I mean basically unplayable. When you are blowing, one or the other of the valves will either stay down or stick about half way up, or both, making it virtually unplayable. I tried swapping valves, using different valve oils, using water. Nothing helps. In most open positions and some valve combinations it sounds pretty good like an average student horn. But with some valve combinations the tone changes so much it goes from pretty good to horrible. Especially bad in mid to lower register. I could live with the tonal and intonation inconsistencies, if it was mechanically playable but it is not. Not sure if I can return it, but I will try. ... show more
