Just got mine last week. After not playing for 25 years, I tried 2 cheap pockets from Amazon. Keys sticking/creeping was a major problem. I picked up the small bell which was about $40 more than the Amazon junk. So far it's holding up great. Getting it in tune is difficult... But that could be me as well. Love you videos and proud owner. Glad I found your channel. I practice 1-2 hours a day and hope the novelty doesn't wear off anytime soon. Now to listen to that Adams Copernicus for the 10th time.

Excellent comparison, great playing!

I like the large bell!

your ombouchure is great. The tone coming from the trumpet is very clear with no noticeable buzz, whistle, or excessive whooshing sounds. Definitely a plus compared to a lot of intro to pocket trumpet videos I've seen.
-
😊 Drinking the valve oil. That way the oiling happens as you play.

Benge made 3 or 4 CG pocket trumpets in silver. Given the super-thin metal, they ruined many bells trying to make these work, then gave up. A friend landed one at some point. Amazing. See if you can get hold if a cadeceus pocket trumpet. Smallest possible.

A couple I cannot find info about is the Jupiter JTR710 and Shagerl SLPT700. Is the Shargerl 700 higher or lower spec than the 200?

Hello! You recently reviewed a Carol Brass Blackhawk pocket trumpet. How would that fit in this really good comparison(s)? Do you still sell aCarol Brass pocket or mini pocket trumpet? Thank you!

I want the last one dizzy bell

No no no i have the first one you played, for practice good, but not with any mouthpiece . i like the idea of an advanced pocket trompeta .

What is your opinion on the jet-tone trumpet mouthpiece? I was thinking about getting one, but I can't find good reviews anywhere else on YouTube. Thanks!
