Tromba TP1-1RED Plastic Bb Trumpet - Red

if you are looking at this you've probably done some research and are considering a tromba or p trumpet. this was a pleasant surprise - free blowing, great sounding and very capable trumpet with good compression and a surprisingly full sound. light to handle. harder to reach high notes - using a metal mouthpiece is a must. not as good a sound as my usual yamaha/sovereign horns as expected for price. great for travel/busking and my son uses it in school jazz bands. valves need oiling more frequently. pretty robust but by no means indestructible - really helpful supplier replaced some bits free of charge after valve stem snapped - but easily glued if needed.great as a second horn for school / travel / fun or as a very 1st horn for young kids until making progress and planning to continue.i play this regularly when practicing with my kids - they still prefer their yamaha as slightly easier in upper register.
