The Pocket Trumpet of Woe 

hello trent i have a question. i want to talk about "Piston Trumpet VS Rotary Trumpet "

I can report that Ammoon's electric guitars are much less disappointing - at least there's rarely anything wrong with them that can't be fixed at home with some basic tools and elbow grease, just like you'd expect of a sub-$100 guitar.

A water thorough soapy in bath warm.

Personally I like the way it sounds.

Trent I was wondering: could you do some more horn videos? I play the French horn and cannot find many in-depth videos about cleaning, tone quality (that especially), techniques, and horn buying guides. I can't find too much information about horns and your content is super informative.

Also, is “That just looks pants” a New Zealand expression? I’ve never heard that before.

Almost passed on this Trumpet after listening to your review .. but listened to a few others review and decided to good for it ..$81 on EBay .. Arrived very fast and looks and sounds great

you get a fantastic sound from this instrument. It's a pity it is so crummy!

the valves on the world's cheapest trumpet are extraordinarily smooth

Mate, your trumpet playing is sounding fantastic! Even on a cut-rate horn like that you're sounding great :-) You playing in the NZ Nationals?

I bought one of these despite the poor review and I love it. It isn't a great trumpet, but for the price I didn't expect it to be. The third valve gives me a bit of trouble occasionally and the third valve tuning slide is pretty much unusable. Notes below middle C also aren't quite in tune. Where this instrument shines though is that you don't need to worry too much about what happens to it. Mine rarely gets put back in its case when at home and I am far more like likely to take it out with me when I go out. If anything happens to my Conn trumpet the repair costs are probably going to be more than the purchase price of this Amoon. I would rather risk the Amoon and buy a new one if anything happens to it.

I can do so many good bugling pranks with this, I am gonna buy it for the holiday

Sounds fine to me. Probably how you play. more than the quality of the horn. nice playing.clean sound. Good definition between notes.

Man Trent, you just sound better and better on trumpets video-by-video!!! It's really surprising to kind of see you development. I've got a Merano like that, paid about the same.... I've traveled with it, have neeeeever used it - it's just not too great. The tone is surprisingly decent for what it is. The intonation is horrendous (unplayable below a low C- it gets to be almost a half-step flat. Its build quality is no good at all though!!

Do you have any opinion on the Mendini pocket trumpet?

Seems decent I’m gonna order it soon

sounds amazing

You said before you were interested in trying double reed instruments, you should see if they will send you an ammoon oboe for review.

Say happy belated birthday to Maddison

Ya know, I've been watching this channel for a while now and I've noticed a trend: Brett plays a lovely tune on a seemingly functional instrument, then proceeds to talk about how much said instrument sucks.

Ur channel is a puddle of excellence

I'm diggin' the 'due, boss!

Hi! Where is the main tuning slide located?

Trent I bought a crappy pocket trumpet a very long time ago and the tuning was so horrible, for the longest time I avoided playing it at all because I couldn’t find any tuning slide at all excepting the 1st 2nd and 3rd valve slides, then I watched this video and i saw you just pop out a slide that looked solid on mine, gave it a good tug and sure enough it was a tuning slide. Still a cheap piece of crap but slightly less so now

Hello trent I have a question. I am a serious euphonium player and i seek to upgrade to a compensating horn. I am on a budget, but im willing to invest some money into one. Do you have any recommendations? I currently have a student model Jupiter

I just ordered a chinesium pocket trumpet, and I'm just going to assume straight off that it's going to require a thorough bath and light oiling.

I have an ammoon soprano saxophone sax that isn’t horrible. It plays fine and the only problem I’ve had with it is that the G sharp pad sticks

Very glad I found this channel. I'm looking to start the trumpet and these are on eBay for around AUD$140. Looks like it's an avoid for me. Should you you just avoid all pocket trumpets if you want to learn some basic trumpet playing?

Good job on the aria

Thank you for this review. You have saved me some cash!

Hello. Trent. Nice sound

Unfortunately I've bought one before discovering your video. I am a beginner and guess the piston valves are misplaced, since it seems blocked. There are no numbers. How do I fix that? From math I know there are 3*2*1=6 possible combinations. Do I have to try them all?

What about the contrabass trombone

Great review thank you, with all the instruments you play do you have a favorite and what wind instrument would you recommend for a beginner, thanks again.......Scott 👍🏆.

Can you reccomend a chape but good quality pocket trumpet that I can get in the UK?

Well, for that price it's a good deal even if just using it for wall art. When prices get this low, it reminds me when the price of a 3 1/2 inch floppy disk drive got down to around 13 dollars. I don't think I could have made money marketing an empty box at that price. Sort of feel that way about this trumpet.

Trent, What do you think of Medini musical instruments. I purchased a Medini pocket and euphonium. they seem to be respectable for the price. Please advise.

Hello Trent, I am sorry that I am so late but I must ask you a question, what pocket trumpet would you recommend for under $400? I am looking for a pocket trumpet that I can throw in a backpack and get on the go, once again I am sorry for the inconvenience, however I am in need of help, thanks!

nice haircut .suits you well.

I know this isn't related to the video, but I need some help. Where are some good places to get trombones? My family and I don't make a lot of money, but I've been wanting to upgrade my trombone for a while. Specifically, a Bach42BO at the moment. Are there any trustworthy websites or something that sell cheap trombones that are good? Thank you.

What was the piece you played in the beginning?

I have the same exact horn

Sounds like Trent bothered to warm up before making the vid.

Whats the song at the beginning?

New from tiger plastic instruments : striped valves

Try out the brand yamato my trumpet is still good after 4,5years

MORE REVIEWS.

Do you happen to live in Hamilton, Trent Hamilton?

Best cheap tenor horn?

If you drop it down in the bell of a larger instrument 💀

Do you have any tips for a woodwind player attempting brass

Sounds good but I bet it won't last long with those crappy valves!

I don’t know why I watch this Channel I’m not even a brass player

Nicee

Just get some low grit sandpaper

I'm so glad I have a Bach trumpet, not pocket trumpet just regular

u talk funny

Has anyone here tried the thomann pocket trumpet for €152?

What do you expect for 100 $. Stupid expectations...

I still don't feel bad for paying $400 for a Stagg pocket trumpet

Twenty FIRST!

Go to 1:54 and pause

I did a fart that sounded like the beginning of the opening tune a few days ago. Anyway good video as always

1:17 Best Roast Ever

Man, if you're gonna send your product out for review at least give it a clean, that's just lazy. You made it sound great though.

Would you recommend the Muslady pocket trumpet over the Ammoon?

I just received mine 2 days ago. I haven't had the same problems with the valves, and I paid $81 for it. It's been a wonderful instrument thus far

It may not be a good instrument, but you made it sound nice in the piece you played. You are clearly a talented multi-instrumentalist who can make anything sound good. I used to have a black lacquered Boosey and Hawkes pocket trumpet at one time but sold it some years ago.

You should get a cimbasso if you can afford one. They’re beautiful instruments.

I'm sorry. I cracked up at "Oh, yuck, it's leaking on me."

I honestly think that the trumpet sounds good, but certainly I understand that sound is not the whole story.

Tone sounds better today 👍👍

Are the shires trombones produced by eastman as good as the original shires trombones?

I think my pTrumpet might be nicer.

What song did you play in the beginning!?! And are you able to send the music for it??

Trent I know you reviewed 2 pocket trumpets I would love to see you review the Mendini Pocket trumpet because I’m interested in purchasing it thanks.

What experiences have you had if any with Taishan instruments Pocket Trumpets? Or with any of their instruments?

I am totally chuffed because I finally picked up a trumpet, it cost me £30 and is an old yamaha 2320 1980/90's student model, It has a lovely sound and though looks pitted and not cared for has (after a bloody good clean and lube job) free moving valves and (now) slides. Next job is to find myself a nice inexpensive but good tutor :)

I haven't played the trumpet since Year 8 but I reckon this sounds great.

Mine came with a 7c mouthpiece and it’s soo small

Im getting a saxophone from amoon

that's a lot of trumpet videos lately

I love this channel😃😃

First

I love you

Hey Trent! I recently purchased an F-trigger trombone. called the Cecilio TB-383. It is surprisingly very well made and has a very usable slide with no hangups! Rose brass bell and everything. I haven't washed it out yet, but it is definitely the wisest choice I've made in instruments so far, especially considering it was only $550!
