I'm very happy with this pocket trumpet. Comes with a nice case, valve-oil, mouthpiece, and even a pair of white gloves. It takes a while to get used to the smaller dimensions and a bit of practice to get the tone right, but then it is a surprisingly soulful instrument. very good and voluptuous sound, only the tone ends a little abruptly when I want to fade out. It doesn't quite possess the depths of my full-size trumpet but its volume, tone and response are much better than I had expected. I do a lot of busking in shopping centres so the size of the trumpet is ideal as I don't have to carry any clunky equipment with me, on top of that it's an eye-catcher, which makes it easier to convince people to part with their money! Quality-wise it seems to be a solid, well-built instrument, only when pulling out the slightly ill-fitting tuning slides you can see that it's not an expensive make. Probably owing to the small dimensions water accumulates quite quickly inside the trumpet, especially in colder weather. This water is difficult to get rid of through the water valves and only by frequent shaking, blowing and turning the instrument upside down can you avoid an unpleasant bubbling sound while playing. Overall an amazing little trumpet for very little money! I bought it as part of the deal that includes a trumpet stand and a brass cleaning set. Highly recommended - even better value for your money!!
