If you’re looking for a plastic trumpet for a new learner or young player, then you will need to ensure that the player can hold and carry their instrument with ease. As such, considerations like the weight and size of the unit become important along with some others highlighted below. Weight and size With this more professional shape, size, and a much better performance than other plastic models of this price, we’d like to nominate this trumpet the Best Professional Plastic Trumpet on this list. It’s been a huge hit - and deservedly so; resulting in other makers (and a few blatant rip-offs) also entering the market place. However, most people still see their future as either throwaway beginner instruments or novelty curios. With a robust construction made of mostly ABS plastic, this trumpet is half the weight of a brass trumpet. You should have no issue holding this trumpet and playing it for a long time, no matter your level. The design includes a third valve slide ring for easy holding. All three valves are adjustable.

Professionals and advanced players may decide to opt for a C trumpet as these are tunes higher and have a smaller body. Durability This trumpet is built with a hardy ABS core construction for an extra level of durability. With a slightly wider bore and bell size, it produces a strong sound for a plastic instrument. The exterior is machine refined and polished, making it quite resistant to impact from dropping or falling. The polished surface also makes the trumpet easy to clean. It comes in a wide variety of colors you can customize with, from yellow to metallic blue. Up above the stave it even allows a young banzai show-off the chance to ping out a few eye-poppers without sounding like a wailing tom cat.

Ideal starting point

There are enough colour schemes to send a chameleon into an identity crisis, and we especially liked the special metallic finishes (even gold!). They are a hoot. Kids will love ‘em. Being so light it encourages the correct posture (the clever design of the little finger rest helps), whilst the compact layout means little hands can easily be positioned over valve-tops. The single waterkey does its job, whilst the first and third slides can be removed easily. Clever bods The pCornet is joining the cornet family, making learning the cornet even more accessible! You may like to begin with the pCornet and choose to move onto the traditional brass cornet. Whatever you decide to do, this pCornet suits both beginners and professionals on it own and will make it's mark within a brass band! The mouthpiece chosen can have a huge bearing on producing the tone as well as the degree of difficulty when playing. A larger mouthpiece is easier to work with initially but will demand more effort when playing higher notes. On the other hand, a smaller mouthpiece may make it more effortless to play higher notes but may also lead to fatigue faster. Leadpipe It is really important that you always confirm the conditions of the cornet that you are about to buy for problems, abnormalities, or damages on the inside of the tubes and on their bodies too. This is because if there is a little damage on the cornet, it will have very obvious devalue on the sounds and keynotes produced.

It’s way too fiddly - so a modern day-glo coloured gig-bag that can be slung over a shoulder with room for a mute, music and even some homework would be a better bet - and would keep fashion conscious youngsters happy too. The company also produces a tenor trombone, a unique double slide trombone and both a Bb and C trumpet (with a flugel rumoured to be on the horizon). All have made their mark worldwide - so little wonder we now have the Tromba cornet which utilises the same technological developments. You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. The target customer base is the learner player (age irrelevant in this day and age) – but with little doubt that it is aimed to capture the imagination of those around the age of 7 who are making their first decisions about what they want to do with extra-curricular activities in school and hobbies in their spare time.

pCornet Plastic Cornet, Blue Overview

It all began with the brilliantly innovative p-bone trombone - aided by cleverly targeted PR that resulted in huge worldwide sales and happy smiles on the faces of thousands of kids as they learned to play a musical instrument that was essentially an expertly engineered bit of plastic plumbing. The pCornet's leadpipe design encourages full projection and an incredibly authentic sound. The 100 percent plastic build combined with the BioCote anti-microbial technology ensures the highest standard of protection. Accessible to everyone For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs. pCornet is less than half the weight of a brass trumpet due to the plastic material throughout the whole instrument, so it's ideal for the younger player and for all those who may have difficulty with the weight and balance. Its unrivaled price enables everyone to enjoy the quality of an equivalent metal instrument at a third of the cost. Happy in the hands of the world's seasoned professionals, pCornet is also the perfect starter instrument. There is some restriction in the airflow with multi-valve combinations (low C#, D, Eb etc), but it isn’t too off-putting a problem.

It mirrors the huge impression its products have made across the world, including the USA where the hyTech trumpet was acclaimed as the ‘Best Teaching Tool for Intermediate Students’ at the influential NAMM Conference in California earlier this year – an event that attracts over 115,000 educators, teachers, and professional players. Growing presence Included with the Tromba cornet is both a 3c and 5c mouthpiece so you can find your perfect size. Plastic mouthpieces are prefered by players who frequently play outside as they warm up a lot faster than traditional metal mouthpieces. The Tromba can also use any regular cornet mouthpiece so you can keep the mouthpiece that you've always used. Also included is a compact cornet stand, cleaning kit, and a carrying case so transporting your instrument is never an issue. Specifications Why the instrument doesn’t come with a decent bit of iron-work to put on the chops is a mystery, as the benefits are huge.

Next in the feature of the cornet that makes up the structure is the bore; it is the diameter of the interior of the cornet pipe, and it helps to determine the tone of the sounds that are produced. These bores are mostly conical, but a narrow bore produces a mellowed sound while a wide bore produces a deep and dark sound. Warranties can vary significantly when you look for a plastic trumpet. Coverage can range anywhere from a warranty of a few months to a few years. Even though the plastic trumpet may be a smaller investment than a traditional trumpet, you still want to get something that will last your new learner or young student a few years at best until they are ready to progress to the next level.
