Tromba Plastic Trumpet (Allora Trumpet in USA) Demonstration by Ken Saul 

The TROMBA might be perfect for taking with you on vacation without fear of losing a $3,500 trumpet.

Great playing!! After seeing your demo, I am definitely going for one. Thanks for the demo.

Nice job on the 2nd variation of Fantise Brilliant. Im learning it for my all state tryouts

well done im impressed.

Great playing!

very nice playing.

Fantasy Brilliante is my goto song for testing out horns. That and Joy Spring.

Nice. Thanks for the demo. Considering this because of travel. It seems to have a slightly darker tone but definitely sounds good enough to keep your lip up!

nice playing sir

gostei da ideia gostaria de esperimentar e difundir a ideia

omg skills

I recently played one and was pleasantly shocked.

Ken, you do well for the instrument that you have. I am not going to state that these instruments are toys, as I see them as instruments that are made of a different and workable material. I also will not say that there is no difference in the sound between them and a fine brass horn. There is a world of difference in the sound. The most noticeable differences to me are the 'drop-offs' or lack of crispness at the conclusion of playing a note...and of course there is a much flatter resonance . I do not however expect plastic to have a ringing tone and I am very impressed for what these are.

Ken, thanks for the video. Even though it's a couple years old now it had the info I needed. I've been wanting to mess around with a C trumpet, Tromba now has one that is silver for a stupid cheap price. It won't play like a pro level horn but then again I'm not a pro.. My biggest concern was having to use their plastic mouthpieces. I play on Marcinkiewicz mouthpieces (trumpet, flugle and pic) and don't' really feel like adapting to a new one. I can use my regular Bb Shew! Also like to echo another comment below to the person who want to learn to play our wonderful pile of brass addiction. Thanks for taking the time to offer a bit of guidance instead of ignoring or belittling. We all had to start somewhere and some time. BTW I have been using Ultrapure for a long time. Except on my pic, it doesn't like it... True trumpet players horror story behind that discovery..

Great demonstration! What type of mouthpiece would you recommend for a beginner ?

I want to buy a trumpet but i dont know how to play. Do you change the tone or pressure of the air from your mouth to get different notes? I noticed you were not pressing down on the valves and still changing notes.

Is it still holding up 2 years later?

im trying to decide between the tromba and the ptrumpet. they both sound good, the tromba is better looking, but the ptrumpet is slightly cheaper. thoughts, anyone?

Sounds good! What does it cost? I am in Germany and also trumpet.

jk. it plays well

We can print it in 3D ! :O

i bought one and everyone laughed at it. :(
