I have a plastic pbone. It's a fantastic instrument to take with me when I travel internationally. Its durable, lightweight, low cost, sounds decent, and has no metal to trigger the TSA or border police. There's certainly a place for a well made plastic instrument in any musician's collection. Its simply a matter of having the right tool for the job.

I own one and love it. The fact that I can leave it around the house and just pick it up and play it whenever the mood takes me. My Calicchio stays in its case, coming out only for a gig or performance.

After a 49 year break, I started laying trumpet again about 14 months ago. I am now playing my second horn this go around in two community bands. Good, veteran layers in both groups who are still not sure what o think of plastic horns, have told me that mine sounds very good. After quite a bit of research, I bought a Tromba.

I would suggest that you might consider a plastic horn if you have a nicer one that you don't want to ruin in marching band. Used with a metal mouthpiece, of course.

Hunter Alexander it’s based on the fact that I spent two weeks in India. I think very highly of the people there. I look with great sadness at what the British Empire has done to them. I do not tolerate disparaging remarks cast towards those that I love.

I love my Pbone. I can leave it around the house with my four year old who keeps knocking on the floor. At one point a seam was split after a bad fall and I carefully fixed it with super glue. It's good as new! It's not as good as a professional trombone, but I have a starter Bach and it's about as good as that. Every school, middle and high school, should use these. I do make sure to use a metal mouthpiece, though. That makes a difference.

The dislikes are from instrument makers in India

I believe the Tiger plastic instruments sound very nice, especially the trombone, better than most cheap brass relatives infact. You should try them.

I'd like to hear your opinions about buying used and the precautions that should be taken before playing (particularly in terms of cleaning/disinfecting). Should that be done DIY or taken to an instrument shop to handle? And thank you for all of the info you provide on your channel!

I’m playing my new Bb/F trombone for pep band, because it is lighter to hold for a long time and the air seems to flow better and sounds the same or better as my school loaned jazz band. I play Euphonium for Symphonic though and it is metal.

Will do one day... When I get it working.

I bought a Chopra trumpet (from India) for 109 USD with free shipping. I'm in a mid term awful financial situation, otherwise I would buy a Yamaha for about 550 USD. The one I got couldn't be played out of the box, all valves were sticky, I washed out then oiled it, now it works, tuning slides aren't anything smooth, but there's no leaks. The mouthpiece isn't good, maybe it's just wrong size for me. I found hard to play the instrument, but I played tenor horn 15 years ago for three years, because at age 9 I couldn't make out any sound of the trumpet. For its price it's acceptable, but for serious purposes definetly it's better to buy one for 400+, but I would never buy anything for over 3000$ what I can lift with one hand.

Yo Trent! Are you gonna make a video about that pocket Trumpet on the wall? Would definitely enjoy it.

Given, as has been commented, that you can /should always give anything a darn good wash before you put your lips to it, it might have been more useful to point out simply that the Indian made brass instruments currently trying to flood the bottom end of the market are absolutely as awful as the fractured English in their florid advertising blurb. They are almost impossible to play in tune - particularly for a beginner -, their mechanical parts are barely functional even with lots of TLC, and they are, mostly, made of metal thinner than a beer can, and consequently have zero useful life expectancy.

Thanks Trent, I've seen heaps of Brass and Woodwind coming from India for ridiculous prices ($400 for a New Sousaphone, $300 Eupho). I'm glad more people are aware of this, it really is a waste of money.

I've been watching your old videos. What auction site do you use for your instruments?

Hi Trent, a question for you! When you showed your brass trumpet in this vid it appeared to have modified valve caps. Do the heavy (and expensive) valve caps really make a difference to the sound of the instrument, or is it just a bit of bling to spruce up and otherwise standard looking horn? Thanks again for the excellent content.

ok but i am a tuba and i dont wna shell out 15000 for a saint pete or 9000 for regular 3 valve so I dont know what to do do i get a plastic or what

I am looking to get myself a 4 valve euphonium. My question is what is a brand that won't break the bank but will be well made enough to last awhile?. Also, is it better to have 4th valve with the other three or by the left hand? Any answers are appreciated

@adriannacollins5383

6 жыл бұрын

The Real M&M there are plastic euphs for around $400-500 and student models start at around $700 for brass. As for the 4th valve, placement doesnt matter. If you get a 4 valve with the 4th valve next to the other 3, you can bring your left hand around the front and use your left index finger instead of your right pinky. What matters is if you want a non-compensating or compensating instrument. Because you're just starting (I assume), I would go for a non-compensating. Hope this helps.

Trent!! Please consider reviewing the Cool winds CTU-200 Plastic 4 valve BBb tuba and their CTB plastic Trombone with F trigger. Also look into the tiger branded 4 valve tuba, plastic by the way

If you want a good instrument buy a higher price one or one from jean paul. But if you have a metal one with the same price as a plastic one. I'd get the plastic one because it will probably be more enjoyable to play for not professional purposes. A metal one of the same price will be garbage.

In my opinion so it might be wrong but I think a plastic trumpet would be good if you're not planning on doing like full bag and it's just kind of a hobby or for fun thing then yeah I think it'd be good for you to try plastic point you wouldn't spend your the money but if it's for like actual concert marching or any kind of band then I would go for a regular brass or metal trumpet

What’s the cheapest plastic trumpet

I once bought a tenor horn through eBay from India. Guess what : After C-C#-D-D#-E-F-F#-G-G#-A-A#-B it was impossible to blow the C coming after that. I emphasize : IMPOSSIBLE ! So Trent is right on India. No brass music instruments from India for me. This was several years ago, but nevertheless that horn is now used.... for dry flowers as a vase.

Plastic is good for players who have day jobs and want to play after work or on business trips. Weight and ease or handling. Because they have quirks that can make them difficult to play, they can discourage beginners. Higher the quality the more consistent, the better,

I'd go with a plastic instrument, plus metal mouthpiece. I can't imagine kids learning proper embouchure on a plastic mouthpiece. Granted, I might be partial, since I learned on brass gear.

According to a review in (if memory serves) 4barsrest the mouthpiece that comes with the P-bone is actually very good for a comes-with mouthpiece. I'll grant you, that it's a low bar to clear.

"Cooler"? Absolutely not. Cheap guitars and ukeleles look similar to quality ones, but the plastic trumpet looks like a toy. The advantage of plastic is price, as you mentioned, so it's not a huge investment (read: not a waste of money) for a beginner who gives up. What you didn't say is that plastic is also lighter, which is good if the recipient is a kid.

What material properties (density, elasticity, hardness, etc) are the most important for the quality of an instrument's sound? Are there brass alloys used especially for musical instruments?

@Markworth

4 жыл бұрын

How all those properties work is a bit complicated and players have different opinions about it, but about the other question, yes. Nickel silver (high nickel brass) and rose brass (or whatever it's being called this year) are a couple of brass alloys that you'll see used in instruments and almost nowhere else. Rose brass is popular because it looks cool and doesn't dent as easily. I don't see it as much anymore, but you can still get French Horns that are solid nickel silver. Supposedly, nickel silver sounds better, but I think it's just a cheap way to get a "silver" color without plating. The most annoying part about nickel silver is how bad it looks when the lacquer wears off. It tarnishes really fast and easy and doesn't polish up that well.

A new section of the band has been created, the Plastic Wind section. I agree, it is not the Indians, it is their instruments and the trouble they cause to the community.
