    Tromba TRP-BK Plastic Bb Trumpet, Black

    • It can get a pretty good sound if you really work for it
    • The valves are pretty sticky even after proper lubing and the sound is pretty sharp
    • It is light weight with a remarkable sound
    • I'm a trombone player and this is my first trumpet but to my ears the sound and playability is quite good
    • This actual sound amazing!!
    • The sound is much better than I expected.
    • Yet after having plastic recorders, plastic clarinets, and a plastic flute, I found that plastic instruments can play well, sound great, and be sturdy
    • The sound is decidedly darker than a brass trumpet and the intonation while not bad is far from what I get with a Schilke or Kanstul but quite useable in the right setting
    • (as Wayne Bergeron said, you kind of have to "blow it into submission"), but it has a great, mellow sound, & the valve action is quick & light
    • It doesn't hurt that the price of the Tromba is approximately that of a REALLY cheap beginner student horn, but has much better sound and action
    • I tried a Tiger Trumpet, and didn't like the sound
    • And it plays well and has a nice sound
