Tromba Plastic Trumpet Review

[@TrentHamilton]

Before anyone else comments about flat fingers, check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnrGl5uXeZWgnKc

[@Mad5cout]

Keeping your fingers curved has nothing to do with damaging the valve casing as the video you link here might suggest. Perhaps, people have said that to you but they would be wrong. It has to do with muscle structure the fact that flattening out your fingers puts tension in all the muscles in your hand, which slows you down. This is why around the 7 min mark when you start to play faster passages you can hear a misalignment between your articulation and your valve depression. If you curve your fingers, your hands would be more relaxed, and you could play these passages faster/in time.

[@aryanohri9135]

I played with flat fingers until I started marching with Blue Devils B this year. I got roasted at auditions. The only main thing is that it dose not look as good, but in a concert setting, it dose not really matter.

[@billyt8868]

can’t really use yourself as a source to justify why you play wrong.

[@merp4377]

Lmao I was about to mention that

[@Mad5cout]

@@GNMi79 yeah no. Halve-valving properly is simply muscle memory no matter which way you play. Yet, playing with your knuckles is antithetical to the ergonimics of your hand. There is literally no upside to playing flat fingers. It's just lazy. Plenty of jazz players who half-valve just fine playing with proper hand position.

[@scales251]

Our lead trombone broke his arm at the start of this school year, and as his arm has healed, he's been able to play the p-bone, as it is a far lighter instrument, so the weight is a benefit. The other benefit I can see to these instruments is their capabilities in very cold weather; A few years back, our pep band played in 10 degree weather, and metal valves/slides were freezing. The plastic was still movable, however. So, from my experience, there are some niche places that these would be utilizable.

[@danielbrisk2884]

(Only my opinion) Plastic valves versus plastic slides: much more mechanics in the piston valve

I have this horn. Picked up a black one from music and arts for 50 bucks. It’s a lot of fun to play. It does leak out of the tuning slide and out of the mouthpiece but it’s not a big deal. It comes with a nice gig bag a stand and a cleaning kit and the two mouthpieces are adequate. If you clean the valves and oil them they work great.

[@gj9665]

But does it djent

[@sascharambeaud]

No, that's actually one of the major points in favor of these plastic instruments. I can have my kids (ages 7 and less) fool around with my Tromba, which is something I'd never allow unsupervised with a brass instrument.

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

[@sk8rdman]

It sounds to me like this would be a great instrument to practice on. If it's so hard to play well, then imagine how much easier your proper metal trumpet will feel in comparison! I noticed a similar thing when I switched from tuba back to trumpet. The tuba requires so much more air and control, that it required me to improve beyond the point where I had otherwise plateaued with my trumpet skills, and I could feel that improvement when I switched back to playing trumpet.

[@blignar5138]

[@LAD0GER]

Why so much flat fingers

[@cdgonepotatoes4219]

some find it more comfortable, it can bring issues where you don't fully open the piston as there's just more of the hand's weight on it but it's better than having your hands cramped, that counts specially for people with relatively large hands and a fairly flat natural resting pose of the hand.

[@ImAllergicToSkin]

Some people find it more comfortable to play like that and some people play faster with the fingers like that or they might’ve been taught to play like that

[@Chriss_Fishes]

Well, I know that for me, playing a trumpet with curved fingers just isn't comfortable. I'm a euphonium/bass trombone player, and even some smaller baritones/euphs/trombones can be cramped for my hands, just due to how long they happen to be. When I play trumpet (well, flugel) I usually end up playing with flat fingers, or, if I need a bit more speed, I do some weird hand position that allows me to rest my fingertips on the valve caps. Whatever works. IMO, everyone should start with the basic recommended technique. That includes hand positions, posture, embouchure details, and air. But, once the student reaches an intermediate level, they'll find what works for them. Most trumpet professors would take one look at my trumpet embouchure and have a heart attack. Yet, I get good sound, can support the entire range of the instrument up to about a high D, and it serves me well. I've probably picked up some "bad" habits on euphonium and trombone as well, yet I have zero noticeable issues with my technique and sound.

[@tristinsean7222]

Because... *🅱️FLAT*

[@Dgarciat]

[@sameester]

Trent, perhaps your issue with the valves extends from the fact that your right hand is incorrectly placed on the instrument; your right thumb should be either resting on the lead-pipe or in between the first and second valve casings (below the lead-pipe) and your fingertips should be on the valves.

Elementary School: One of the harshest and most damaging environments for brass instruments.

[@MasonAtha]

At my high school's band camp, one of the instructors was a professional trumpet player. Needless to say, he had a very nice horn. He bought one of these (silver-colored finish) to take outside with him so he wasn't marching with his professional horn. I think that's one of the best uses for these plastic instruments. Not only do you not have to worry about your instrument being injured, but when it's cold, you aren't playing on a cold horn.

[@hunteralexander9791]

[@TheTangyGoatCheese]

He shouldve just bought a pre owned ytr 2335 or similar student horn

[@MasonAtha]

TangyGoatCheese I think plastic horns are actually great for marching. You won't ever get the same tone as with brass, but you don't have to worry about temperature or water damage. They're also lighter. I wouldn't recommend them for soloists or anything, but they're great for stands or pep band where you're in a close proximity with the next person.

[@NZMcJim]

I bought one of these for my son to start playing on. They must have changed the manufacturing process. No leaks and I could smack out a top G (above top C) without difficulty using the plastic mouthpieces. It's no Schilke or a Bach Strad but for the money it's a bomb proof beginner instrument.

Good video. As an adult, I bought one of these to use as a learning tool, and as such it is ideal - not too expensive, gives an idea of what playing a trumpet can be like, and has allowed me to get up and running. Mine had none of the defects mentioned in the video, but I guess they are fairly inconsistent when they roll off the production lines. I have yet to buy a proper trumpet, but went through a similar process with trombone, started on a pBone then bought a good quality metal instrument. Once that switch is made, there is no going back, and I expect the same for the trumpet. It was heartening to hear that even an accomplished player considered it difficult to play, so my reasoning for now is that if I can make a plastic trumpet sound good, it bodes well when I eventually get a good instrument.

Could you imagine a plastic Tuba???LOL I also hear you can not use industry standard valve oils on many of these plastic trumpets.

[@MarkWick]

Trent, I enjoy your videos and I have learned a lot from them. This video is one of many I watched as I researched the next trumpet I would buy, and based on a preponderance of positive reviews I bought a Tromba trumpet in August and I love it. I am now playing in an orchestra and a band and a brass quintet. Last week, the director of the quintet, who plays a brass trumpet said he is a traditionalist and isn't sure about the plastic horns but that mine sounds pretty good. I use metal mouthpieces with mine, usually to Connstellation mouthpiece I used in high school. I have never had a leak at the mouthpiece. I very rarely need to oil the valves and find them just right to use using the springs that were installed when I received it. I am playing notes on the Tromba that are higher than I ever reached on any other horn and I can get to lower notes than I ever have before. I was born with spina bifida, have suffered several neck injuries and have several bad disks in my back, and have had my right shoulder injured several times. Holding a metal trumpet for more than a few minutes would be very painful. The light weight of the Tromba is a huge benefit to me.

Thank you Trent for showing me the plastic trumpet I was interested in purchasing one but seeing what you have shown me, I would have too much of a problem playing this instrument since I am recovering from a stroke and can't produce the amount of air needed that had to produce when I played using my standard silver King trumpet.

ive been playing trumpet for about 7 years and over that time countless amounts of trumpet pros have seen me play with my fingers being stiff and that pressing down on the valves is a more professional way and the correct way of playing it, This mans is playing the trumpet really well but pressing down on the valves would not only look better, it would increase the speed and articulation of the notes. all in all it sounds great for a plastic trumpet i personally use a standard Bb bach all brass body and titanium valves with a gold plated 7C mouthpiece, works and sounds great

I own one of these in bright metallic blue and silver finish as a kind of fun colorful side instrument,etc. Of course I use my metal mouthpiece on it and actually played it on a tune in a show I was doing in Las Vegas. Also it helps to play the mouthpiece you're used to of course, yes the plastic mouthpieces it comes with kind of suck,heh. Playing mine tho It was in tune and played fine. It takes your favorite valve oil and slide grease. Mine doesn't leak, neither water nor air. My only peeve was originally they had sent me a red one which I had broken one of the little pegs on the top of the 1st valve casing. Had to carefully super glue it back on and be careful not to engage taking the valve in/out too often/much. I was able to turn it in to the company at a music trade show which they had already sent me the new blue one,etc. This is a fun alternative I think for young students in elementary school band and of course for guys like me who like to have fun on stage,etc. :)

As I've mentioned earlier, my prime instrument is a Benge 8z cornet (velvet) and I have a Tromba trumpet and cornet (canvas), though I use a Denis Wick 2 on the latter and a Bach 1C mouthpiece on the former. I teach young kids and we also march around and I also use the Trombas as travel horns and even at jam sessions sometimes, though I don't think I'd record with them. The critical difference in terms of control, playing ease and intonation is, as you say to use a quality metal mouthpiece and, as you also say, as beginning or supplemental "knock-around" horns I think they do a good job.

You mention this is better than a similarly priced metal instrument. I honestly don't have anything to compare to, but a few years ago I picked up an eTude brand trumpet for about $100 US (maybe an ETR-100, not sure how to check). It's been a very good instrument, and the only "problem" I can notice is maybe that the 3rd valve tuning slide is kind of wobbly if you try to wobble it. It's not noticable to me while playing though

Would you also need to oil the valves with oil too?

[@TooSlowTube]

A good, and no doubt accurate review. Have you tried a Kelly plastic mouthpiece? They describe them as "lexan", mostly because of the negative connotations of the word "plastic", I guess. To me, they play like a metal mouthpiece, except they don't start out feeling cold, or get hot. My only criticism is that they don't make enough different sizes - I'd buy more, if they did. Their 7C cornet and trumpet mouthpieces are good, IMHO. The mouthpiece that comes with Tromba instruments, is shit, yes. As I also attempt clarinet and sax playing, I never expect the mouthpiece that comes with anything to be of any use though. The rest of the instrument is a bit better, but still compromised by questionable design and manufacturing processes. I have the Tromba plastic cornet. I haven't noticed a leak around the mouthpiece, but I don't use the stock mouthpiece - I've mostly used a Kelly 7C with it. The main spit valve drips constantly, which has the advantage that it never needs emptying, but must also be throwing out some of the notes. The lower end of the scale is a bit buzzy and weak sounding, to me. The worst problem is the intonation - if third space C is in tune, second line G is very flat, for example. I noticed the join where the bell section starts on mine has white foaming polyurethane (or similar) glue, protruding into the bore. I made a tool with a diamond chip glass cutter on a length of tubing, to grind it out a bit, which seemed to help, but not enough. My guess is that the other joins are the same - restrictions in the bore due to expanding foam glue, throwing out the intonation. If you look up the effect of a dent which narrows the bore, on a brass instrument, you'll find that it throws out the intonation of notes that have a pressure node at that point - the note plays higher or lower than it should. The other big irritation is that third slide barely slides - it keeps catching, and has to be forced to move. If it had been built with a metal sheath, like the valves, that wouldn't happen. I'm inclined to think there's no reason why a plastic brass instrument can't work well, though some moving parts probably can't be plastic - at least they had the sense to use metal liners on the valve pistons, on these. It's just that no one has yet pulled it off, convincingly, as far as I know. I've wondered if the PlayLite euphonium is any better. I've never played a Euph, but I do sometimes play a tenor horn (aka Eb alto horn). They're not supposed to have slides you move while playing, so that's one less thing to get right.

I'm starting band so earned a sub any ideas on how to get ready without trumpet because I want to be chosen for trumpet.

Start by improving your use of syntax and semantics. Punctuation will help you be taken more seriously. Honest. Not busting your chops.

Hello Trent, I just saw your video and well, you left me thinking now. I do own a Stradivarius model 37 but a plastic trumpet is something I've been thinking about buying just to say...I have one, lol. However, I would like to buy the best plastic horn possible produced. I wasn't too impressed with some of the negatives you mentioned for the Trompa review and my question is, have you reviewed others such as the Allora, Tiger Plastic, Pbone. Which one would you say out of the many out there which I think i've mentioned probably the better ones in the market, which one would you agree or recommend.

I am considering buying a plastic trumpet to mess around with (I am a trombone player) would you recommend to do so? btw love your videos Trent - a loyal subscriber

[@TrentHamilton]

Hi, You'd probably be better served by spending the same amount of money on a reputable 2nd hand brass trumpet that's in decent condition. Thanks for your comment :)

[@jeffpecker]

Trent Hamilton thank you for your advice

Trent Hamilton don't you dare go to the dark side my friend

Can someone tell what the song after KEEL ROW is called

[@sharkfinsoup8222]

What’s he playing at 6:58?

[@ZipplyZane]

The metal mouthpiece definitely sounds better, and for that low a price, seems like an obvious addition to get with this when such is appropriate (unless they already have a better metal mouthpiece, of course). It seems the mouthpiece is the most important thing. Some trumpet academic did a video about making your own trumpet out of a hose for fun, and it sounded significantly better when he used a real trumpet mouthpiece.

I'm a trumpet player myself and the reason your fingers are so fatigued is because they are flat when you press down on the valves

[@brokenwrench1]

i recently examined one of these and they are a plastic version of a mid 60s conn director. . if you cruise ebay you can buy a good shape conn director trumpet or cornet for about the same money as this plastic knock off sells for. i agree this horn has it's place like in cold climates . they stay in tune in about any weather. they may be a one or two year wonder throw away horn. it does not take much damage to a brass horn to exceed $180 in serious repairs from marching field accidents

I'm a cornet and trumpet player. Take the small springs and stretch them out so they are about 25% longer. This might make the difference you need. I understand the problem. Too hard and tiring in a concert, or too weak and unresponsive. Got to have the balance. If it's leaking spit, it's leaking air, and therefore not tuning correctly. The spit valves can be fixed with beeswax. The other leaks might be fixed with wax as well. But, if the instrument doesn't sound good in the first place, than why bother. Trash it than. It does bother me the way you finger. But if you feel comfortable with it. Than go with it. I use my finger tips. That's just normal for me. Whatever flips your cooky. That's how we say it here in the US. The only use I see for any plastic instrument is for young children just starting out. Otherwise, useless trash.
