The Pocket Trumpet of Woe

[@xarq0n]

I just received mine 2 days ago. I haven't had the same problems with the valves, and I paid $81 for it. It's been a wonderful instrument thus far

[@spug9338]

Hoe about now?

[@tioliak]

Hi. Wanna ask something. Does this pocket trumpet have a main tuning slide?

[@squirreltrumpet8128]

hello trent i have a question. i want to talk about "Piston Trumpet VS Rotary Trumpet "

[@TrentHamilton]

Sure - please send me an email or contact me on my facebook group.

[@concernedcitizen5320]

Almost passed on this Trumpet after listening to your review .. but listened to a few others review and decided to good for it ..$81 on EBay .. Arrived very fast and looks and sounds great

[@mal2ksc]

I can report that Ammoon's electric guitars are much less disappointing - at least there's rarely anything wrong with them that can't be fixed at home with some basic tools and elbow grease, just like you'd expect of a sub-$100 guitar.

[@CaptainApathetic]

Honestly cheap guitars are a lot better than cheap wind instruments (brass and wood varieties). Generally the quality issues with them can be solved pretty easy, and can be upgraded, and a new guitar needs to be set up anyways. Wind instruments are a whole different beast bc the issues with them are either impossible to fix (cheap metal) or very hard (intonation issues and things like that)

[@betsyshepherd3135]

Trent I was wondering: could you do some more horn videos? I play the French horn and cannot find many in-depth videos about cleaning, tone quality (that especially), techniques, and horn buying guides. I can't find too much information about horns and your content is super informative.

[@cyborgjonny]

Betsy Shepherd too bad he's not a French horn player. The instrument is very different than other brass instruments.

[@shogun2215]

A water thorough soapy in bath warm.

[@autumnleaves2766]

It may not be a good instrument, but you made it sound nice in the piece you played. You are clearly a talented multi-instrumentalist who can make anything sound good. I used to have a black lacquered Boosey and Hawkes pocket trumpet at one time but sold it some years ago.

[@davidpoppenhagen4278]

Sounds fine to me. Probably how you play. more than the quality of the horn. nice playing.clean sound. Good definition between notes.

[@billswingle2672]

Personally I like the way it sounds.

[@cowtools8710]

Also, is “That just looks pants” a New Zealand expression? I’ve never heard that before.

[@TrentHamilton]

"Pants" used to be considered a uncouth term for trousers, so it's used in a slang way.

[@LarryShone]

Pants is used here in the UK too to mean crappy

[@cowtools8710]

Thanks for explaining it. I live in America so I’ve never heard it.

[@Jayme501]

I did a fart that sounded like the beginning of the opening tune a few days ago. Anyway good video as always

[@jd.rc6]

Jayme501 Nice.....?

[@sniperprototype]

Thank you for this comment

[@shanebranum4824]

U might be sick......

[@thetato1273]

i'm not a doctor, but you might want to cut brass out of your diet.

[@Dreadballoon]

Jayme501 WHY share that?

[@justinblake7355]

I bought one of these despite the poor review and I love it. It isn't a great trumpet, but for the price I didn't expect it to be. The third valve gives me a bit of trouble occasionally and the third valve tuning slide is pretty much unusable. Notes below middle C also aren't quite in tune. Where this instrument shines though is that you don't need to worry too much about what happens to it. Mine rarely gets put back in its case when at home and I am far more like likely to take it out with me when I go out. If anything happens to my Conn trumpet the repair costs are probably going to be more than the purchase price of this Amoon. I would rather risk the Amoon and buy a new one if anything happens to it.

[@nestorf.6024]

Thanks for the info.

[@tioliak]

Hi. Does it come with main tuning slide?

[@BoxyMelody]

Would you recommend the Muslady pocket trumpet over the Ammoon?

[@jasonmccain9544]

I can do so many good bugling pranks with this, I am gonna buy it for the holiday

[@PabloHernandez-zw2we]

Tone sounds better today 👍👍

[@drzoidberg71]

you get a fantastic sound from this instrument. It's a pity it is so crummy!

[@TracksWithDax]

Man Trent, you just sound better and better on trumpets video-by-video!!! It's really surprising to kind of see you development. I've got a Merano like that, paid about the same.... I've traveled with it, have neeeeever used it - it's just not too great. The tone is surprisingly decent for what it is. The intonation is horrendous (unplayable below a low C- it gets to be almost a half-step flat. Its build quality is no good at all though!!

[@richardkelso9478]

I too got a Merano, had to spend money to get the valves lapped to get a half-way decent action. Still not very good. Will look good on a wall as a decoration. In short, if you are thinking of getting a pocket trumpet, don't. They are not worth the candle.

[@iamadoorhandle4888]

Seems decent I’m gonna order it soon

[@jimmyschmidt14]

sounds amazing

[@michaelsalehi3323]

Do you have any opinion on the Mendini pocket trumpet?

[@Jackson-sr7ms]

You should get a cimbasso if you can afford one. They’re beautiful instruments.

[@grahambalderstone2308]

Mate, your trumpet playing is sounding fantastic! Even on a cut-rate horn like that you're sounding great :-) You playing in the NZ Nationals?

[@MrInitialMan]

I'm sorry. I cracked up at "Oh, yuck, it's leaking on me."

[@amanwithears918]

the valves on the world's cheapest trumpet are extraordinarily smooth

[@andrewsarchus7319]

Thank you for this review. You have saved me some cash!

[@yamiyo6050]

Andrewsarchus buy it . I just bought one from Walmart

[@yamiyo6050]

107$

[@tioliak]

@@yamiyo6050 Hi! How is the control and intonation?

[@torvickiii]

Trent I know you reviewed 2 pocket trumpets I would love to see you review the Mendini Pocket trumpet because I’m interested in purchasing it thanks.

[@TrentHamilton]

It's going to be the same design as the Ammoon, but hopefully slightly better quality. Still mass produced and still Chinese made, so therefore luck of the draw whether you get something usable.

[@torvickiii]

Trent Hamilton well thanks for the input by the way sorry for the really late response 😂 oops

[@jackson8197]

Good job on the aria

[@nedgey]

I haven't played the trumpet since Year 8 but I reckon this sounds great.

[@hunniemaxandtheirhumantoo3351]

I am totally chuffed because I finally picked up a trumpet, it cost me £30 and is an old yamaha 2320 1980/90's student model, It has a lovely sound and though looks pitted and not cared for has (after a bloody good clean and lube job) free moving valves and (now) slides. Next job is to find myself a nice inexpensive but good tutor :)

[@that_one_guy6022]

I have an ammoon soprano saxophone sax that isn’t horrible. It plays fine and the only problem I’ve had with it is that the G sharp pad sticks

[@amazingace3972]

Hello trent I have a question. I am a serious euphonium player and i seek to upgrade to a compensating horn. I am on a budget, but im willing to invest some money into one. Do you have any recommendations? I currently have a student model Jupiter

[@robertv.3796]

Mabe a Tuba but if you are on a buget this might not bei The Horn for you

[@amazingace3972]

gaming planet dude, im looking for a better euphonium, not a different instrument

[@silverplussonic]

What's your budget, roughly?

[@ummmforgetnames8052]

Don't settle, it'll just cost more in the long run. Go ahead and buy used or make payments on a nice horn.

[@lstockl5901]

I would recommend a used besson or if your looking for something cheaper, I would recommend Schiller.

[@fortepiano4491]

Hey Trent! I recently purchased an F-trigger trombone. called the Cecilio TB-383. It is surprisingly very well made and has a very usable slide with no hangups! Rose brass bell and everything. I haven't washed it out yet, but it is definitely the wisest choice I've made in instruments so far, especially considering it was only $550!

[@nicholastrombone9899]

Just wait a few years the slide is so heavy on their trombones the sound is awful just don't get another

[@fortepiano4491]

On the contrary, I've had another one of their trombones (silver) and while the slide was a bit rough around the edges, it lasted me all throughout high school. Even played a solo on it. I wouldn't get another, but I am glad to have owned it. But this is personal opinion.

[@nicholastrombone9899]

I had the old silver one and it had all the problems I listed out of the box and couldn't be fixed

[@landenhawley7874]

Trent I bought a crappy pocket trumpet a very long time ago and the tuning was so horrible, for the longest time I avoided playing it at all because I couldn’t find any tuning slide at all excepting the 1st 2nd and 3rd valve slides, then I watched this video and i saw you just pop out a slide that looked solid on mine, gave it a good tug and sure enough it was a tuning slide. Still a cheap piece of crap but slightly less so now

[@joshmullikin1068]

Ur channel is a puddle of excellence

[@braydenheadrick260]

Are the shires trombones produced by eastman as good as the original shires trombones?

[@JackHernandezGentlemanJack]

Can you reccomend a chape but good quality pocket trumpet that I can get in the UK?

[@oscarl-b8870]

You said before you were interested in trying double reed instruments, you should see if they will send you an ammoon oboe for review.

[@congerscott6064]

Great review thank you, with all the instruments you play do you have a favorite and what wind instrument would you recommend for a beginner, thanks again.......Scott 👍🏆.

[@zealouszucchini2043]

I'm diggin' the 'due, boss!

[@mndlessdrwer]

I just ordered a chinesium pocket trumpet, and I'm just going to assume straight off that it's going to require a thorough bath and light oiling.

[@professorseverustobiassnap1566]

Hello. Trent. Nice sound

[@_WubbleU]

I love this channel😃😃

[@discoduck3785]

Very glad I found this channel. I'm looking to start the trumpet and these are on eBay for around AUD$140. Looks like it's an avoid for me. Should you you just avoid all pocket trumpets if you want to learn some basic trumpet playing?

[@tioliak]

Hi! Where is the main tuning slide located?

[@FarmboyAB]

Unfortunately I've bought one before discovering your video. I am a beginner and guess the piston valves are misplaced, since it seems blocked. There are no numbers. How do I fix that? From math I know there are 3*2*1=6 possible combinations. Do I have to try them all?

[@levipannell771]

What about the contrabass trombone

[@Mitioritos]

nice haircut .suits you well.

[@ciatacious6110]

What song did you play in the beginning!?! And are you able to send the music for it??

[@BrassMaster84]

It's "Aria con Variazione" by Handel. Shouldn't be too hard to find sheet music for it.

[@ninja2134]

What experiences have you had if any with Taishan instruments Pocket Trumpets? Or with any of their instruments?

[@captainkaedon9453]

Mine came with a 7c mouthpiece and it’s soo small

[@victorbatres2065]

Trent, What do you think of Medini musical instruments. I purchased a Medini pocket and euphonium. they seem to be respectable for the price. Please advise.

[@drakesomerset129]

Hello Trent, I am sorry that I am so late but I must ask you a question, what pocket trumpet would you recommend for under $400? I am looking for a pocket trumpet that I can throw in a backpack and get on the go, once again I am sorry for the inconvenience, however I am in need of help, thanks!

[@RockOrgan]

I have the same exact horn

[@jensrb50]

Try out the brand yamato my trumpet is still good after 4,5years

[@user-74652]

I honestly think that the trumpet sounds good, but certainly I understand that sound is not the whole story.

[@aguynamednathan]

Ya know, I've been watching this channel for a while now and I've noticed a trend: Brett plays a lovely tune on a seemingly functional instrument, then proceeds to talk about how much said instrument sucks.

[@hannahwright126]

Say happy belated birthday to Maddison

[@sameester]

Best cheap tenor horn?

[@ThePumpkinBoatMC]

Thanks so much for the quick reply and then I can get the email with the details of the quick response and then I have to go get the kids and uploading the matter and then slap you for your time and consideration.

[@dollbunni]

I know this isn't related to the video, but I need some help. Where are some good places to get trombones? My family and I don't make a lot of money, but I've been wanting to upgrade my trombone for a while. Specifically, a Bach42BO at the moment. Are there any trustworthy websites or something that sell cheap trombones that are good? Thank you.

[@trainliker100]

Well, for that price it's a good deal even if just using it for wall art. When prices get this low, it reminds me when the price of a 3 1/2 inch floppy disk drive got down to around 13 dollars. I don't think I could have made money marketing an empty box at that price. Sort of feel that way about this trumpet.

Sounds good but I bet it won't last long with those crappy valves!

I don’t know why I watch this Channel I’m not even a brass player

[@jessstuart7495]

What's stopping you? It's okay, I'm not a brass player either (Tenor Saxophone and Electric Bass). My 10 year old son started playing the French Horn, so I've been learning a lot more about brass instruments. He lets me play it sometimes.
