The instrument does come with a soft case, trumpet stand, cleaning kit, and two plastic mouthpieces (5C, 7C) which didn't sound that good for me (I am used to playing larger mouthpieces).

It comes with a stand, 2 mouthpieces, 7c and 5c, a cleaning kit with valve cleaners, and a shoulder strap

Tested the trumpet pitch on electronic tuner - perfect pitch in low and high register - came with two mouthpieces, a cleaning kit, and a travel case.

If you are skilled you can make it sound pretty darn good, though it does not have the nice tonal quality or resonance of a pro horn like a Bach

I had low expectations that a plastic horn would hit the mark for a decent tonal quality beyond closed practice doors

I liked this trumpet very much, although I think it is a little expensive, if we think that we can get a metal one, of better quality, for the same price.

The bag is decent quality, the rest of the extras are a little on the cheap side

This was a great buy - specifically because I was looking for a C trumpet

High C was a perfect B, and the rest of the horn was terribly intonated too

Not at all a beginner's horn, but a good buy for the money.

As with a Bb trumpet, the low D requires pulling out the third valve slide (it moves quite smoothly), otherwise there don't seem to be any weird out of tune notes.

I could cut down a Bb trumpet to be a C, but that is a deal of work and can go bad

Tuning it though, I barely had to slide out on the tuning slide and usually play on the sharper side on my Bb trumpet

Be sure to clean it upon receiptTone is even, blow is consistent from below the staff to an octave above the staff.

Free-blowing, light weight, nice tone, and $2000 cheaper than a Xeno.

But they are there, just may take student a bit longer to master them- the sound feels 'muted', which can be a positive or a negative depending on what you want out of the instrument.- the spit valves are in a slightly unusual position, but i find them easier to empty the spit without getting it all over yourself- pretty indestructible

I would say as well as a decent student trumpet.

Update: After playing it for a few days I do notice some intonation issues, like low D is really, really sharp.

D and C# below the staff are awful, nearly impossible to find the center

Despite needing to be run in to have reasonable action, they are too loose to have much in the way of compression, even with heavy oils.

The valves and valve casings are metal and have great action.

I have to wonder how stupid Tromba must think American consumers are

I hope that Tromba fixes this tuning issue.

The only way I might recommend a Tromba is for a student who may or may not stick with the instrument if you don't want to make a big investment.

Tromba if you are reading this, thank you, and I can always rely on you for good plastic instruments.

I play at basically a good high school musician level; lead in some groups, last chair in others.

The intonation is good as well, in fact as good as some pro level C instruments I have played (except above the staff where my embouchure hasn't recovered after a 30+ year layoff, so I can't really say how in tune very high notes are).

However, if you look at the tunnels through the pistons they are more obstructed (bumpy) than on a top level model which negates this advantage.

The trumpet actually has a good sound; it plays clear and no major intonation issues

The tone sounds like a trumpet, but it is a very dead sound, no resonance to it

The effect is similar to a cup mute; dulling the sound, less volume, no ring, and makes it a bit airy.

The sound of the instrument is not bright, like a normal C trumpet is expected to be.

In the final analysis: It's a plastic trumpet and should not be confused with a fine brass instrument, but after hitting it a few times, I'm very glad I took the plunge and bought what I thought would be little more than a novelty.

It holds its own against the opposing C trumpet that is a much more expensive instrument.

This was purchased on the recommendation of a fellow orchestral player who suggested it would be a good travel/vacation instrument

After working on getting the valves and 3rd slide to work for over a week, it is still essentially a non-functional instrument

I am playing it and working on, first, getting used to playing a C trumpet and then getting the valves worn and responsive

Sure, the ringing brass sound is missing, and the valves are slightly sluggish (not sticky)

Third valve slide works, but I haven't found the right oil weight to get it smooth and easy.

it is more effort to blow than a quality metal student horn (such as yamaha), so the lips tire quicker in the early days- the valves are slower than above mentioned horns, but not so much so that it caused problems when playing (particularly at beginner level)- the trumpet falls apart easily, but then it is very easy to put back together too

When I opened it, it was in a very nice gig bag, and not a hard case with styraphoam

I wrote to them and they answered me right away on Sunday and sent me a nice nylon black carrying case.

BTW, they come with a cheap plastic case with a styrofoam insert

First the bad, the case it comes with is absolute garbage

The instrument does come with a soft case, trumpet stand, cleaning kit, and two plastic mouthpieces (5C, 7C) which didn't sound that good for me (I am used to playing larger mouthpieces).
