TOTALLY worth it.
Okay, the bad, first.
1. Feels like it's made out of tinfoil.
2. The stock valve action is 'adequate'. Lap them, or give them a few slides through some 1000 grit sandpaper, then oil them up. Swap in some better springs, and you get much better response.
3. Slide action is decent. I had to take the 1000 grit to the 3rd valve slide, though, to get it more agile. A few twists in the 1000 grit, oil and grease, and it's great.
4. The black lacquer is uneven at the welds and starts flaking off from protrusions almost immediately.
5. Spit valve springs are cheap, and are just mashed against the tubing with no reinforcement. Get yourself some real springs off Ebay, then cushion them with some rubber or plastic. The rubber spit valve pads seem fine.
Now the good!
1. With a few mods, you have a horn with decent mechanical action.
2. Comes with the typical 'beginner' mouthpiece, Bach-style 7c, but do yourself a favor and get a 3c.
3. It sounds DECENT. Yes, it actually does.
4. It's tiny and fun. Look at it. IT'S SO ADORABLE! And the case it comes in is pretty good. Nice and padded, but still only about the size of a shoebox. Totally portable.
5. It was $120. Take it to the desert and play in a sandstorm. Dive in a pool and bubble out some Buble under the water. Stick it out the window on the highway doing 105 and see if you can outrun Flight of the Bumblebee. Strip the lacquer off and spray paint it pink with gold glitter sparkles. Who cares!
6. Prop it upright and use it as a kitschy flower pot, a statement to the elasticity of today's high-precision, off-shore brass manufacturing! A lone moth orchid would look especially shway with the flaking, black lacquer.
I love this horn. It's fun. I stick my custom mouthpiece in this thing and wail. The bell is so close to your face you hear nothing but sound, and it's not a bad one. The slotting is a little bit weird at first, but it's not impossible with a little practice. I love taking this horn with me wherever I go; you never know when you might come up on a lonely drummer in need of a horn player!
1. The valves are a bit scratchy, but totally usable with oil.
2. The 3rd valve slide is a bit hard to adjust on the fly.
3. The tuning can be a bit suspect in the upper registers.
4. Mutes fit, although not always securely. Note that a clip on bucket mute (like the H&B or Soulo brand) will not fit on this.
The pros:
1. It’s very well-blowing. I feel like I can play consistently higher on this.
2. It’s very good to mess around on. I can just pull this out and have a good time.
3. It’s only $150 (with the discount, it was $120).
I recommend this to anyone who wants a cheap pocket trumpet or even a cheap regular trumpet. The only reason why I would not recommend this specific trumpet is if you like to use a lot of mutes very often (especially bucket mutes) or if you are looking for a brighter sound. I’ll briefly touch on the included extras:
The mouthpiece is good (a 7C), though most people may want to buy another (I myself use a 1.5C megatone copy). The valve oil is usable, though better options are out there. The tuner/metronome is passable, it tunes slightly flat by about 1 cent, but unfortunately the speaker doesn’t work on my model. However, a good trumpet and decent mouthpiece would normally be wayyy more than 150, so the fact that any of these were included at all is surprising.
UPDATE: I dropped it down a set of wooden stairs. I was inadvertently carrying it by the tuning slide, and at the top of the stairs the slide pulled out. I watched the pocket trumpet bounce down the stairs... Luckily the mouthpiece popped out instead of getting jammed in. The bell got tweaked a bit, and now I need tools to remove the first valve slide, but the pocket trumpet still works and fits my needs, +1 for durability.
