pTrumpet Plastic Trumpet with 3C and 5C Mouthpiece and Carry Bag - Bb Student - Green

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.

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.

The pitch is noticeably flat when I go above and below the middle octave. Get a cheap trumpet with an adjustable 1st valve slide instead if you're looking into a cheap trumpet.

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

Great little Trumpet used it instead of bringing my expensive one away with me, perfectly fine for keeping up practicing while away...

I'd heard this would be suitable for a beginner. The fact that the valves keep sticking, however, make this a nightmare. I find myself trying to pull the valves up whilst still playing just so I can keep up with the rest of my class. I've kept it clean and followed the user guide – but to no avail. I've bathed it and used the recommended oil and grease. No change.It looks like what I really need is a new trumpet. In a last ditch attempt I shall rename it Tony Blair in the hope that nothing'll stick anymore. I shall update this review if where necessary.

This trumpet is very light, good sound and sound is easy to make.But unfortunately this one I have got, valves were sticking.I tried to adjust variously during this one month, but it wasn't improved.To: the Customer DeskI returned this one by EMS on Dec.19. Shipping charge was 4100 yen in Japanese yen.The chase number: EG520480110JP Thank you for support.

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.
