Tromba TP1-1RED Plastic Bb Trumpet - Red

This instrument valves failedCo have now agreed to supply new valvesGood customer serviceSound handling and weight if trumpet great

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.

Sent back as I could get the first value to move, even after oiling. I'm sure they are not all like this as my friends have one and think they are great. I just had some bad luck.

Remarkable. The sound is very close to that of brass, beautifully light.Great fun to play, No risk of damage if you drop itExcellent price

One valve broke within a couple of weeks another 2 went a couple of weeks later, very disappointed.
