Good value for money
Stuart P. 25.05.2020
I purchased this trumpet as a bit of an experiment. Here in the UK rotary valved trumpets are rarely used, especially in amateur circles. Most of my trumpet playing is orchestral and brass ensembles.

The trumpet arrived promptly and was very well packaged. The case is ok but could have been a little larger to allow for mutes and a trumpet stand.

Onto the trumpet. The finish is good with no blemishes in the lacquer, the valves seem light and quiet. The trumpet has a nice warm, well rounded sound. I had one major issue with the trumpet and that was intonation. I found the C#, D, Eb and E nat in the stave to be very flat. I have tried various different mouthpieces with the instrument including a Breslmair and finally have settled with a Gr mouthpiece which has helped but the E and Eb are flat enough to need to use alternative fingering. I am happy to use alternative fingering as I am used to doing this with with both my piccolo and Eb trumpets (both very good pro models).

In conclusion - for me the quality of sound overrides the need to use alternative fingering. This trumpet offers very good value for money but it is not a pro standard trumpet. I am very pleased with it. The trumpet would also benefit from a trigger on the first valve and a water key on the third valve slide. The third valve trigger works well.

A pretty decent trumpet
Qi C. 09.10.2021
I honestly got this just to try out a rotary and compare it to a piston.

Build Quality:
Really nice for the price, though the slides can be a bit hard to pull out. The trigger for the 3rd slide can also be a rough.

Sound:
Good sound and intonation, especially when paired with a good mouthpiece design for rotaries.

The only issue that I've experienced is that my left hand could get a bit sore after a long practice session. Sadly, I have to return the instrument so I can afford to upgrade to a better piston trumpet.

Eine sehr solide Trompete
Drikani 28.10.2022
Ich wollte endlich eine gute Trompete, da ich vermehrt im Verein von Horn auf Trompete wechseln muss.
Da mich Drehventiltrompeten immer schon fasziniert hatten, dachte ich mir, dass ich diese jetzt einmal bestellen kann.

Die Trompete kommt in einem ordentlichen Koffer, welcher sogar noch Schultergurte hat und auch sonst viel Stauraum bietet.

Die Trompete selbst ist eigentlich sauber verarbeitet und sieht tadellos aus, aber leider will mein Stimmzug auch nach einigen Tagen und mehrfachem einfetten nicht so richtig laufen.
Es fühlt sich an, wie wenn bei der Lötstelle in dem Rohr etwas im Weg wäre.
Außerdem läuft das dritte Ventil deutlich schwerer als das erste und zweite.
Hier habe ich schon versucht die Schraube zu lockern, das hilft aber leider auch nichts.

Der Sound wiederum ist super für den Preis.
Sie spricht hervorragend an sowohl in den Höhen als auch den Tiefen und klingt einfach brillant.
Es macht einfach Spaß mit dem Instrument zu spielen.

Die Haltung der linken Hand ist Anfangs zwar ungewohnt und führt dazu, dass man leicht verkrampfen kann wenn man zu fest drückt, aber das hat den netten Nebeneffekt, dass man mehr auf seine Technik achtet und weniger presst.

Alles in allem bin ich sehr zufrieden mit dem Instrument und werde es hoffentlich noch viele Jahre spielen.
