pBone PTRUMPET1O The Plastic Trumpet, Orange

This trumpet is brilliant. It’s light, sturdy, excellent for beginners but my son’s teacher also rates it highly for having a decent sound.What made me actually bother to write a review is how impressed I was with the after sales service. We had a problem with sticking valves, tried trouble shooting, but when this didn’t worked I reached out to the company and they were amazing - efficient, responsive, helpful.Highly recommend.

This trumpet is pretty good for the price. I would definitely recommend for a learner or a second instrument. However on playing I have found that when playing on the third valve in the lower registers it becomes quite flat muffled and difficult to get a good sound. This can be compensated by changing your playing style and forcing the air through. Saying this I have been very impressed with the sound produced with a rich tone which although not quite as brilliant as a traditional brass trumpet is still very good. Tuning has been a slight issue for me however I believe this is more down to getting used to a new instrument rather than down to the instrument itself. Overall I would buy this again and would recommend it to others, the only thing I would ask for is a greater range of colours.

Great product and well made. Value for money

The second edition of this instrument (pTrumpet2) was meant to have fixed all the quality control issues with the original. But almost within minutes ALL THREE valves got stuck and valve No.1 stuck so badly that I had to prise it out. After several attempts to thoroughly clean the valve casings and pistons plus a dab of the recommended oil the problem persists. I can barely play a few notes without the sticking happening again.The reason is quite clear: The valve casings are not smooth and I suspect the bore of the cylinders is warped, and the type of plastic used inherently binds the valves against the casing walls.All the above might be rectified if the return springs were strong enough but they are pathetically weak, perhaps a third of the strength of normal brass trumpet springs.There are proper brass trumpets on Amazon at roughly the same price as this plastic one, and they even have tuning slides, so my experiment with a plastic instrument - purchased for its low weight - was a very bad experience which I now regret. Unfortunately it is unlikely to be returnable having been used.I would like to warn others that they are taking pot luck with this product. You may or may not get sticky valves, but if you do it is virtually impossible to fix.

I loved this product, the design is bright and colourful and the instrument gives a great all round sound. It only weighs 500g which makes it easy transport.

Ordered this so that I would have a lightweight instrument to take away with me. Impressed with the sound of the instrument but slightly disappointed with the look, which I shouldn't really be comparing with a brass instrument. Enjoyed playing to begin with but had problems with sticky valves so used a small amount of valve oil. I continued to have sticky valves so then wiped away the valve oil. However, the problem has persisted and I am getting frustrated now. Looking forward to getting home and playing my brass instrument.

I'm trumpet biginner.Trumpet is very light i thoughtI think It is not correct a sound pitch at a higher octave and need an adjustment of tuning slide.but i love it as second instrumentlightweight, look so cute and not bad sound

Not quite as robust as some similar makes but value for the money

Je voulais tester le produit et j'en suis satisfait

Hasta ahora no he tenido quejas buen sonido y excelente performance para ser un instrumento de plástico, para alguien que apenas se acerca al instrumento está muy bien.

It is great, sounds great, super light, and the valves work perfectly. Very happy with this purchase/

他の方のレビューほどピストンは悪くなく、運指の練習中ですがいい感じです。

Para empezar y reiniciar el estudio esta fenomenal. Es muy ligera y el sonido esta bastante bien. Me encanta. La recomiendo para iniciarse en la trompeta y sobre todo para los niños es genial.
