| Re: Pocket trumpet? G'day Mike, I have a Weril Pocket Trumpet, and after a little lapping work on the valve casing, I find it a delightful little horn. I always find the weight a surprise - I sort of expect it to be light - it's not and the left hand is a bit awkward in the grip. I find that it's not easy to get notes to split as the volume increases - as I say, quite a nice little trumpet - and plenty loud enough for much of the inside work our Concert Band has done. Mutes don't grip well, and the trumpet stand is a waste of time - but the kids in the band always see it as a treat to get a chance to knock out a tune in the practice room. This particular Weril (an EP4071 I think) is frosted gold plate, lacquered, with polished gold highlights in the bell, and top and bottom valve caps.

| Re: Pocket trumpet? Hello Hitman - here you go - this is a Brazilian Horn, made by Weril. It is not my own trumpet, but an image taken from the Weril website - EP4071 Pocket Trumpet.

| Re: Pocket trumpet? There are some good ones,and there are some bad ones too. I personally own a Phaeton pocket trumpet. Plays great,intonation is really good,and it does not cost a lot. I would recommend it any day. Felix

| Re: Pocket trumpet? I've tried one, maybe it wasn't a very good one though I can't remember the make. I tried it at Midwest a couple years ago. I though of it as fun toy but not really neccessary.
