If I was reviewing Thomann TR 25G B-Pocket Trumpet, I would give this instrument a solid 4 stars.

I ordered this instrument twice. Both times, it had a lovely warm tone and a great response; somewhat like a cornet but sweeter. It probably lacks the projection of a full trumpet, but the response felt as good as my main trumpet (B&S Challenger 2/S) which is saying something!

For the first instrument, the downside was major intonation and tuning issues. I played it in the local community orchestra and no matter how I tuned it, some notes were always out. Slurring between E and G at the top of the stave, they were simply not in tune to each other.

I got a refund and reordered it, and the intonation for the second instrument was a lot better... if it wasn't for being a semitone too sharp. With the tuning slide in the normal position of about 1/3" the instrument was still a semitone sharp. Sadly when I pulled out the tuning slide about 1.5" to tune middle G to my other trumpet, that negatively affected the intonation of all the other notes so it was not a viable option.

Sadly I will be returning this instrument as well in favour of the Carol brass pocket trumpet (which by all accounts is a great instrument).

If you are seeking a trumpet in the key of B, I would recommend it; alternatively if you are playing by yourself and don't care what key it is in, you could take a punt. My opinion is that with the whole instrument being a semitone sharp, there are key problems with the design so I would avoid it.

I have had a great customer experience with Thomann though, free return from the UK! They did not win their awards for nothing.

Super cool trumpet

I bought this for my daughter but I do know my onions. I teach brass & woodwind for Cleveland School of Music. I wanted a trumpet that was compact like a cornet and this pocket trumpet was ideal. Plays like a standard trumpet but slightly lighter. Thomann is a great company to deal with, the first pocket trumpet I was sent had a slight issue with one of the valve pistons not working correctly and within 10 days a replacement was sent which was thoroughly checked by Thomann's brass department. 2nd pocket trumpet was spot on, no issues and daughter absolutely delighted with it. I mean how does Thomann knock out a decent pocket trumpet in gold brass for £150! Intonates really well across the registers and all valves/slides work as they should. Don Cherry would luv this horn. I would heartily recommend this pocket trumpet for any budding trumpeter out there who is looking for a trumpet a little different from the norm or for a younger child who wants a smaller more manageable instrument.

A great little instrument!
Anonymous 12.02.2016
For the price this is a nice little pocket trumpet. The build quality is good and it plays with a lovely clear tone. The valves took a while to wear in but are now not bad at tall, and any tuning issues are easily dealt with by use of the free moving slides. The trumpet comes with a nicely put together case that gives plenty of protection.
All in all a nice instrument for the price!!

Out of tune!

Reasonable response, light and with a decent sound but really out of tune and the tuning slide is tricky.

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
Andrew4292 05.02.2015
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!

Amazing sound

This little trumpet has a great sound. To me it has a nice warm sound and great tone. Who would think something this small could sound so nice. Looks very nice. Quality seems good. Sometimes one of the valves may stick but a good cleaning and lubrication fixes that. Highly recommend this one.
