We wanted to do a video comparison of some of our most popular pocket trumpets we sell at ACB! This is an archive of the live video I did on Facebook but I felt like it was an important video to share here as well. Make sure to comment on which pocket trumpet you liked the best!
I do switch around some between the trumpets, but if you're looking for a particular horn these time stamps will get you started:
1:55 ACB Large Bell Pocket Trumpet (4 7/8" bell!)
-Fits full sized mutes, making it a great traveling companion!
-Fully optimized at ACB including valve alignment
-Adjustable third valve slide
7:55 ACB Small Bell Pocket Trumpet
-Designed to be as compact as possible
-Fully optimized at ACB including valve alignment
12:55 Manchester Brass Large Bell Pocket Trumpet
-Fits full sized mutes, making it a great traveling companion!
-Adjustable trigger on first valve, but not third valve
-Made in Taiwan, great quality instrument
21:06 Schagerl 200L
-Great valves
-Very good playability!
23:30 Brasspire P7 Pocket Trumpet with Upturned Bell!
-Satin finish
-Heavyweight elements
-Dizzy-style upturned bell gives great player feedback
Here's the link to some pocket trumpets:

Just got mine last week. After not playing for 25 years, I tried 2 cheap pockets from Amazon. Keys sticking/creeping was a major problem. I picked up the small bell which was about $40 more than the Amazon junk. So far it's holding up great. Getting it in tune is difficult... But that could be me as well. Love you videos and proud owner. Glad I found your channel. I practice 1-2 hours a day and hope the novelty doesn't wear off anytime soon. Now to listen to that Adams Copernicus for the 10th time.

your ombouchure is great. The tone coming from the trumpet is very clear with no noticeable buzz, whistle, or excessive whooshing sounds. Definitely a plus compared to a lot of intro to pocket trumpet videos I've seen.

Benge made 3 or 4 CG pocket trumpets in silver. Given the super-thin metal, they ruined many bells trying to make these work, then gave up. A friend landed one at some point. Amazing. See if you can get hold if a cadeceus pocket trumpet. Smallest possible.

From my experience, the cheapest horn I own that I enjoy playing is a 1956 Martin Indiana cornet that I paid $15 plus shipping for. The main reason I play it is because it plays nice and quiet with loose slots and a free feel up high. It wasn't made as a "pro" horn and has plenty of quirks but it works very well for what it does well.

Hey, Trent! I’m retired at age 68. I dropped out of trumpeting about 4 years ago because, between sidemen who won’t rehearse to venues that don’t want to pay, I tired of the nonsense of leading my own band. But I miss it. I bought a Phat Puppy as a treat and reward for returning. Flugelhorn intonation is often suspect, but the Phat Puppy seems to be worse than others. I’m training myself to make it in tune as part of training my chops and my ear. Do you think that the AR weight would help that instrument?

Perhaps I'm crazy, but I think I might actually prefer the standing tone of the Schagerl over the Brasspire for some reason. The Brasspire looks cool and is far more precise particularly in the area of note finding. But honestly, listening in the video back to back, the Shagerl sounds very warm and classic in tone on the lingering note. Clearly, it begins to fall apart when pushed up to speed. The Brasspire keeps up but to me sounds a bit thinner in comparison despite the fact that it's the better horn.

ACB Large Bell Pocket makes a ton of sense for a kids first student horn. You don't ditch it when you get a step up or pro horn, its closer to the face, so easier to hear, closer to the face so less arm/shoulder strain, fits a mute, looks cool to non trumpet players, has strong busking appeal, it's affordable, It has nice new laquer so no kid bitching about the other kids having shiny horns, fits in a backpack... That Schagerl sounds great, but for whatever it costs I'm sure I'd be in the preowned section of your store. Schagerl sounded better to me than the Brasspire tbh.

I think the Manchester, Schagerl, Carol Brass mini (not in this video IIRC) and Brasspire pockets we stock here at ACB are all good, solid instruments with fine intonation (for a pocket). I use a Carol Brass mini when I travel these days and they are fabulous. Here's the link for the one I use: www.austincustombrass.biz/the-adorable-carolbrass-mini-pocket-trumpet-in-lacquer/ (I highly recommend using the Ante Mute with this horn as well)

The originals are great if you want the commercial sound. The reissues by which are actually made by schilke, I’ve never tried but have really mixed reviews. Most stuff says they aren’t exact copies of the originals though and a lot of people say they don’t play in tune and are not as good. Legends brass makes some good copies though and some other companies do too. I’ve got a legends which is great but it isn’t supposed to be a jet tone so I don’t know how they’re jet tone copies are but they should be great too.
