Customers like the sound quality of the trumpet. They mention that it has a surprisingly good sound, the intonation was OK, and the tone is very clear. The weight and sound quality are great for a cheap instrument, and it's nice for long tones and exercises in the mid-upper ranges. It plays just like a normal trumpet, and sounds 99% like a metal one.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Price point was my primary consideration, so I was looking at this, taking a leap on a cheap used, or one of the sketchy new brass horns. Seemed like this might be low risk to simply get something functional.
After using for quite some time, obvious pros and cons, but overall happy with this purchase.
Pros:
Unique, and fun to play - friends love to try it
Crazy-light weight
Decent sound
Cons:
Not a big deal, but skip the included mouthpieces - noticeable difference with the real thing
Not as forgiving, some intonation issues
Valves not incredibly responsive
Overall tone isn't as rich/complex
Still, amazed that something that looks like a toy sounds as good as it does. I don't want to overemphasize my 'cons'... Realizing what I bought, I'm not at all disappointed... would recommend.
Have heard about plastic TRs for a while. After watching a few YouTube play-test/reviews I decided to check a couple out for myself. I like new innovative stuff and they’re cheap! Always thought it would be fun, and a bit of stage-craft, to have a Blue Trumpet for playing some Blues...already have a Blue Plunger!
The GOOD: The pTrumpet is a very interesting, innovative design. Its engineering is unique. It actually blows nicely, somewhat similar to my main horn, a Schilke X3, up to high C but is a little stuffy up to G above. That's expected. It’s extremely light but feels quite chunky in the hands. Right hand position on the valves feels awkward. Intonation was OK. Think one could learn to play it in tune with sufficient careful practice time.
The BAD: The 3rd valve on the horn I received stuck continually making the horn totally unplayable at any speed, thus totally useless. I followed the enclosed instructions and tried it dry at first. No good, stuck every 2nd or 3rd press. I cleaned the valve carefully and oiled it lightly (as per the instructions) with Blue Juice Valve Oil and it was exactly the same, constantly sticking. Part of the unique design is that all 3 valves are exactly the same and interchangeable, which is actually a great idea. So, I switched the valves around several times, but nothing helped stop the 3rd valve sticking problem. Tried several different finger positions and playing very slowly to be sure I wasn’t pressing at an angle, but that didn't help either. Thus, this particular pTrumpet is not good for anything but maybe making a cool looking lamp. I returned it for a refund after trying it on and off during my regular daily practice routine for 3 days. IF the manufacturer could improve the valve situation it could be a fun novelty horn, preferably for an experienced player who knows how to compensate for its intonation issues.
GIVING THIS INSTRUMENT TO A BEGINNING STUDENT, OF ANY AGE, WOULD BE HORRIBLE!!! Trying to learn to play trumpet with this horn would be devastating to a new student and for their parents. Spend a little more $ and get something better. Sometime you get what you pay for…that’s especially true with musical instruments.

What made me actually bother to write a review is how impressed I was with the after sales service. We had a problem with sticking valves, tried trouble shooting, but when this didn’t worked I reached out to the company and they were amazing - efficient, responsive, helpful.
Highly recommend.
