Ideal travel trumpet
As soon as I received it, as I do with all new horns, I gave it a good clean. Slides greased, triggers and valves oiled it was time to give it a blow. Firstly the bits that are not spot on. The thumb trigger slide is a bit too short and awkward to operate for compensation and the mouthpiece receiver is not perfect so my own mouthpiece wobbles a tiny bit but not enough to affect playing.
Now the good. I oiled the valves with my favourite Tromba T2 Special oil so I can't speak for the supplied oil and the valves work fine. I tuned it with the main slide out about 3/4" (20mm) and it plays well enough in tune.
As per the title, I often have to stay in hotels or B&B's so, apart from the size, I was always wary about taking my pro or my vintage trumpets. I'd often thought about getting a 'utility' trumpet to help keep my lip in on trips away and this fits the bill perfectly .

Heel mooi afgewerkt, klank ook mooi. De valven blijven steeds haperen, ook nadat ik ze geolied heb. Ik stuur het terug en neem ofwel de pocket van 169¤ of de "cornet" van dezelfde prijs. De levering was uitstekend, alleen zou ik niet graag meer met UPS leveringen hebben, heb er problemen mee dat men met een "robot" moet praten, en geen vragen of uitleg kan krijgen.

Good product
For the overall price, I recommend it for sure.
Really good aspect, sound to be tuned a bit but good.
The bell is full size which let it sound like a trumpet.
Pistons mechanics are not very smooth but with good oil you can make it work.

Disappointing Quality Control
I received this instrument and spot checked it to found several lacquer finish issues and scratches on the horn even though it contained a slip of paper saying it had been quality checked!
The horn itself is however plays very well for the price so i negotiated a discount and kept it. If you want a pocket trumpet and dont want to break the bank then give this one a go you wont be dispappointed just make sure you check it thoroughly when its delivered!
On another note. I have found Thomann to be less than efficient, friendly and professional when dealing with their customer services. All seems well when you first use Thomann and indeed i was delighted to have discovered this company but scratch beneath the surface and they fail to deliver. Be warned!
