Tromba Plastic Trumpet Review 

Before anyone else comments about flat fingers, check out this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8IcfhaD0mfE.html

Sounds pretty good for not being brass and being plastic.

I cannot imagine a conductor saying, "OK, plastics, let's take it from Letter H."

You should do a plastic clarinet review Oh wait

I swear it's always second valve.

Im a drummer, and for some reason, these videos are so fun to watch. Maybe its his accent but idk 😂

he stats playing at 6:03

Our lead trombone broke his arm at the start of this school year, and as his arm has healed, he's been able to play the p-bone, as it is a far lighter instrument, so the weight is a benefit. The other benefit I can see to these instruments is their capabilities in very cold weather; A few years back, our pep band played in 10 degree weather, and metal valves/slides were freezing. The plastic was still movable, however. So, from my experience, there are some niche places that these would be utilizable.

It took me 5 weeks to find a ACTUAL plastic trumpet review because it seems that whoever makes these trumpets and making famous trumpet players give fake reviews THANK YOU

why does he sound better than me with a plastic trumpet

Dude, for a professed trombone/baritone player, you're one hell of a trumpet player! I've been playing for 20+ years and you're playing Arbans quite well.

my granddaughter has set her heart on a blue trumpet so your review was really helpful and as she was born hypoxic and is a little weak on one side after listening to your review i feel more confident to buy one as she is only 8 and going to start lessons this will be lighter for her also i will be getting the metal mouth piece . you have the best review i have seen so far . Thanks Margaret Barnett.

I have this horn. Picked up a black one from music and arts for 50 bucks. It’s a lot of fun to play. It does leak out of the tuning slide and out of the mouthpiece but it’s not a big deal. It comes with a nice gig bag a stand and a cleaning kit and the two mouthpieces are adequate. If you clean the valves and oil them they work great.

But does it djent

I thought it would sound like a toy but it has a pretty decent sound for being plastic

I dont know how this ended up on my page and I know nothing about musical instruments but I must say that it is wonderful to listen to someone review trumpets in extreme detail. Great channel, got yourself another sub, cheers!

I appreciate the effort you put into the videos even for such entry level products...

It sounds to me like this would be a great instrument to practice on. If it's so hard to play well, then imagine how much easier your proper metal trumpet will feel in comparison! I noticed a similar thing when I switched from tuba back to trumpet. The tuba requires so much more air and control, that it required me to improve beyond the point where I had otherwise plateaued with my trumpet skills, and I could feel that improvement when I switched back to playing trumpet.

Why so much flat fingers

Nice quality! I really love your vids and think that you deserver more subscribers. Keep up the good work

being a music fanatic myself, watching your channel is quite intriguing. so many things I've never seen before! keep it goin, Trent.

Bro, you are awesome! I could listen to you talk about anything all day!

Why do you play with your fingers straight? My teacher always told me to put them curved so my fingers went faster.

Trent, perhaps your issue with the valves extends from the fact that your right hand is incorrectly placed on the instrument; your right thumb should be either resting on the lead-pipe or in between the first and second valve casings (below the lead-pipe) and your fingertips should be on the valves.

I bought pTrumpet not Tromba, and there was problem with sticky valves. Valves were from plastic and the water inside trumpet was stopping them from going back up. How is it with Tromba? Is it the same problem?

Elementary School: One of the harshest and most damaging environments for brass instruments.

You are one of my only people who give me advice and knowledge on my music skill

Doesn't sound as bad as I expected it to.

At my high school's band camp, one of the instructors was a professional trumpet player. Needless to say, he had a very nice horn. He bought one of these (silver-colored finish) to take outside with him so he wasn't marching with his professional horn. I think that's one of the best uses for these plastic instruments. Not only do you not have to worry about your instrument being injured, but when it's cold, you aren't playing on a cold horn.

Hey I want to ask a question I have a trumpet by the company Atude it is a beginner trumpet and some notes like G or F I cannot get to sound perfectly that note is supposed to sell high but when I do it it sounds very low.

Do you think you could do more videos on the Euphonium? I play that and I rarely see any videos on RU-vid about them

Was anyone shook by how he had straight fingers lol

If I increase my mouth piece from 5 to 7 do you think it'd be easier to play my selmer bundy? I'm a noob and can only play c to c but abc I really have to take another breath to blow the notes

I can appreciate any talent in any musical instruments deffo, and good effort for it all. Its just at 1am and late nights for some reason i end up looking at such random videos and no idea why? I looked at a chap serenading cows with his trumpet last night and believe this is why your video is suggested. Big props for playing m8 :)

Trent you nailed it, the most important how plastic compare to brass trumpet and environment to use this trumpet, very useful info.

Good review. Not just an unboxing video. The reviewer clearly has experience with brass instruments (and plastic ones too).

If you used the right finger placement and C shape in your playing hand and got your pinkie out of the ring your fingers would not get tired as fast or even at all.

What's the time signature with variation four? I'm trying to transcribe it, but I can't get it right. I know it doesn't show a difference, but the notes shown don't fit, or I'm not seeing a certain rhythm dot or something..

Im planning to get one of this.. to learn, I HAVE CERO KNOLEDGE on how to play the trumpet. Is a good option to start from cero?

Great Review

Hi! How is the control and intonation compared to the standard brass trumpet?

I bought one of these for my son to start playing on. They must have changed the manufacturing process. No leaks and I could smack out a top G (above top C) without difficulty using the plastic mouthpieces. It's no Schilke or a Bach Strad but for the money it's a bomb proof beginner instrument.

Question: Since it's "more difficult to play", would it be a good practice-instrument to improve technique? And then it will be much easier for a beginner to move to a metal trumpet later?

Is this good to learn on I play the flute in highschool and some of my friends who play trumpet let me me play theirs and I want to learn

Good video. As an adult, I bought one of these to use as a learning tool, and as such it is ideal - not too expensive, gives an idea of what playing a trumpet can be like, and has allowed me to get up and running. Mine had none of the defects mentioned in the video, but I guess they are fairly inconsistent when they roll off the production lines. I have yet to buy a proper trumpet, but went through a similar process with trombone, started on a pBone then bought a good quality metal instrument. Once that switch is made, there is no going back, and I expect the same for the trumpet. It was heartening to hear that even an accomplished player considered it difficult to play, so my reasoning for now is that if I can make a plastic trumpet sound good, it bodes well when I eventually get a good instrument.

take the smaller springs and stretch them out

Would you be able to do a review on a tiger tuba or Euphonium?

What brand/type of oil are you using to lube the valves?

hi trent can i buy this in india ? or any dealers in india for this product ?

Hello Trent, I just saw your video and well, you left me thinking now. I do own a Stradivarius model 37 but a plastic trumpet is something I've been thinking about buying just to say...I have one, lol. However, I would like to buy the best plastic horn possible produced. I wasn't too impressed with some of the negatives you mentioned for the Trompa review and my question is, have you reviewed others such as the Allora, Tiger Plastic, Pbone. Which one would you say out of the many out there which I think i've mentioned probably the better ones in the market, which one would you agree or recommend.

Have you tried the second version of these trumpets, ptrumpet 2.0 ?

I am a trumpet player and just loved this tutorial!!! I could certainly tell the difference with the metal mouthpiece!! This instrument would be very good for a beginning student!! (with a metal mouthpiece)....you are making me think about buying one and I already have 3 REAL ones.....lol

Trent, I am so happy to announce that you have inspired me to get a soprano trombone xD it's so much fun and I owe it all to you

Trent, I enjoy your videos and I have learned a lot from them. This video is one of many I watched as I researched the next trumpet I would buy, and based on a preponderance of positive reviews I bought a Tromba trumpet in August and I love it. I am now playing in an orchestra and a band and a brass quintet. Last week, the director of the quintet, who plays a brass trumpet said he is a traditionalist and isn't sure about the plastic horns but that mine sounds pretty good. I use metal mouthpieces with mine, usually to Connstellation mouthpiece I used in high school. I have never had a leak at the mouthpiece. I very rarely need to oil the valves and find them just right to use using the springs that were installed when I received it. I am playing notes on the Tromba that are higher than I ever reached on any other horn and I can get to lower notes than I ever have before. I was born with spina bifida, have suffered several neck injuries and have several bad disks in my back, and have had my right shoulder injured several times. Holding a metal trumpet for more than a few minutes would be very painful. The light weight of the Tromba is a huge benefit to me.

Thank you Trent for showing me the plastic trumpet I was interested in purchasing one but seeing what you have shown me, I would have too much of a problem playing this instrument since I am recovering from a stroke and can't produce the amount of air needed that had to produce when I played using my standard silver King trumpet.

I will like to purchase a value bflat key trombone, can you advise.

Fantastic trumpeter Master Trent Hamilton.

I wanted to ask you I have an Atude student trumpet. When I play it I can hear air in my tone I also wanted to ask what is the easiest brass instrument to play. If you could figure out how I could fix that that would be nice thank you. Love your voice.

I have a benge professional trumpet but I forgot what it's called can someone help me

This was a great watch. I can't seem to find the instrument on Amazon though. I've found a different plastic trumpet but it's $120. This one can't be more than $40 right?

Any tips for a low brass player going over to a trumpet

Can someone tell what the song after KEEL ROW is called

Would you also need to oil the valves with oil too?

I broke my trumpet from my 3rd valve tuning slide cracking and the 2 nd valve is so stuck that it isn't going to come out ever

It actually sounded better than i had previously thought!

What website do you go on to find these music

Saw a plastic trombone at a brass band Christmas event. And thought wow how does it keep it tune when it warms up.

Are the valves Berliner rather than Perinot?

Trent, do your thoughts regarding metal vs. plastic hold true to mouthpieces with a plastic rim, but metal body? In other words, do you think a fully metal mouthpiece will resonate better than one with a plastic rim, but metal body?

Hai Trent hope you one day can present the tiger TUBA in plastic or one similar since you are a big brass player

I am just subscribing because you sound talented and I figure hey this guy deserves to be RU-vid Famous.

Would you recommend for like a hobby instruments

As I've mentioned earlier, my prime instrument is a Benge 8z cornet (velvet) and I have a Tromba trumpet and cornet (canvas), though I use a Denis Wick 2 on the latter and a Bach 1C mouthpiece on the former. I teach young kids and we also march around and I also use the Trombas as travel horns and even at jam sessions sometimes, though I don't think I'd record with them. The critical difference in terms of control, playing ease and intonation is, as you say to use a quality metal mouthpiece and, as you also say, as beginning or supplemental "knock-around" horns I think they do a good job.

You make it sound so good. I got the Lade, and am working on the scales now. It's all brass, and the only problem I have is the quick collection of spittal, and use the spit key often to blow it out.

I want to pick up a ptrumpet to compare the two. Has anybody done this?

Maybe the softer springs will work better once the valves have broken in?

Are the water keys on backwards?

superb bro

Can you review a plastic euphonium (or any other euphonium under $500 us dollars). I was thinking about buying a cheap euph and wanted to know if it was worth the cheap price. (but in the sole purpose of fun and not professional use).

I own one of these in bright metallic blue and silver finish as a kind of fun colorful side instrument,etc. Of course I use my metal mouthpiece on it and actually played it on a tune in a show I was doing in Las Vegas. Also it helps to play the mouthpiece you're used to of course, yes the plastic mouthpieces it comes with kind of suck,heh. Playing mine tho It was in tune and played fine. It takes your favorite valve oil and slide grease. Mine doesn't leak, neither water nor air. My only peeve was originally they had sent me a red one which I had broken one of the little pegs on the top of the 1st valve casing. Had to carefully super glue it back on and be careful not to engage taking the valve in/out too often/much. I was able to turn it in to the company at a music trade show which they had already sent me the new blue one,etc. This is a fun alternative I think for young students in elementary school band and of course for guys like me who like to have fun on stage,etc. :)

What is a cheap trumpet that is suitable for beginners?

I'm starting band so earned a sub any ideas on how to get ready without trumpet because I want to be chosen for trumpet.

Love how it took him literally half the video to start playing the instrument

Here's the next two you should do: Cool Wind CPT-200 Plastic Bb/A Piccolo Trumpet and the Tromba TF-BL Pro Professional Plastic Bb Flugelhorn

Thank you. You have just saved me a bundle of money.

What do you think of Kaizer’s plastic trumpet?

Where can I get this trumpet?

do yuol need vallv oil for it i hate the smell of it

perhaps could trim - cut - the bigger spring to get one that works for you?

where can i buy one ?

how much do you sell the trumpet???

6:00 is wen he play

hey trent i noticed the "plummers putty" comment. my cornet has a leak and it is driving me up the wall. please advise.

This guy just said they lubed the instrument with KY 😂

How can get plastic trumpet?

Why do you have your second joint of your finger on the buttons? Shouldn't it be the tips of your fingers atop the buttons instead?

Can u play it with the mouthpiece of the regular trumpet

How much price plastic trumpet sir.

What key is that Trumpet in?

It actually sounds really good!
