Thinking about picking up a pTrumpet? Fantastic! But first I’m sure what you really want to know is if it’s any good!
Is The pTrumpet Any Good?
Obviously we think the pTrumpet is pretty darn great. We could talk to you for days about all the great benefits of a plastic instrument, or tell you all about how its lightweight and durable body makes it perfect for younger players. We could also bore you by telling you why it’s the perfect addition to any classroom. But we won’t do that, because you seem busy.
Instead of all that nonsense, we’ve decided to round up some honest reviews from customers, musicians, and educators around the world who have actual hands-on experience with the pTrumpet. Because really, we figured you’d much rather hear what they have to say about it.

I do a lot of busking around town and my girlfriend bought me a pTrumpet. It's amazing how much it sounds, feels, and plays like a brass trumpet. It's a real conversation starter too. Absolutely love my pTrumpet. - Five stars

Good For The Price - Jon Doyle
“I have been very impressed with the sound produced, with a rich tone which, although not quite as brilliant as a traditional brass trumpet, is still very good. Tuning has been a slight issue for me - however, I believe this is more down to getting used to a new instrument rather than down to the instrument itself. Overall I would buy this again and would recommend it to others, the only thing I would ask for is a greater range of colours.” - Four stars
Great Product - Millie
“I loved this product, the design is bright and colourful and the instrument gives a great all-round sound. It only weighs 500g which makes it easy to transport.” - Five stars
A Great Present - Jones Ultrasound
“Excellent value. Fun way to teach kids. Plays like the real thing.” - Five stars
Impressed With The Product - Blake
“For a plastic trumpet, this thing is pretty cool. It's fun to play on! I have dropped this thing a few times and it has never been damaged. The valves are pretty quick and responsive, I have not had one get stuck yet. This would be great for someone who wants to play trumpet for fun or maybe a young kid wondering if it is for them.” - Four stars

Perfectly Giggable- Jazzwise
“Like the PBone, we were once again pleasantly surprised by the mellow tone of this instrument – although it was a little quiet. Fitting the house 3C brass mouthpiece livened up the session! All round the PTrumpet is great fun and we have to say – perfectly giggable.”
8.2/10 - My Best Trumpet
“The pTrumpet is excellent for a beginner, amateur or even for professionals who want to have a “backup” horn or something very fun to play around with. It can also be used on rock or pop gigs, with its cool looks and easy high register.”
Fantastic - The Test Pit
“The pTrumpet is a fantastic way to get kids practising with a 'proper' instrument, and as it is made from tough plastic, you know they'll be able to do so while jumping around and having fun.”

Durable, Affordable - Chris O’Brien
“I think that it’s a very durable instrument, and quite affordable. And it looks pretty cool too, so I think that has an effect on my rating overall. For what it is, it sounds great.”
Easy To Learn - Cosmo Music
“This guy is entirely plastic. It’s got plastic valves, some better ergonomics so it’s easier to learn for students, and it’s a really affordable horn if you’re just looking for something to start on.”
