Well, this is a difficult question, because there's no standard for 'good'. Personally, I would avoid all of the low-cost pocket trumpets. I had an Amati years ago and it was like a piece of rock....just played horribly.

In choosing a pocket trumpet, the criteria really shouldn't be any diffierent than choosing any other horn. I once owned a Kanstul pocket trumpet that was an excellent horn. I seem to remember it costing me around $1200. I know Benge makes a pocket trumpet as do other manufacturers.
