| When I deployed to Iraq I brought a pocket trumpet along in my ruck, & it served me well in Kuwait (before all the horns arrived in the connex, about 1 month). Sure there are problems, but one doesn't expect an eclipse quality horn in a pocket trumpet.
They are very small, easily transported, and if they get smushed you're not out a million bucks. It keeps the chops in shape......
