I've heard that pocket trumpets allow one to access the upper ranges more easily...is that true?

Piccolo trumpet sounds an octave higher and played the beatles penny lane solo, not a pocket trumpet. A pocket trumpet is best used by young beginners for shorter arms and as a fun toy. I have never heard a pocket trumpet with a great sound though it sure does look cool :)

Not entirely. While it is easier to hit higher notes it is the same as a regular trumpet, you have to the right positioning in order to hits a "G"

it is true [think the Beatles 'Penny Lane'], but bear in mind it is a more rigorous horn to play due to its smaller size

Rule#1, Never buy something if you know little about it. There really is no difference between one valve oil and another. The important thing is that this is not a $2,000 trumpet, so it will use a lot of oil, just like any other cheaper trumpet would. a cheaper priced trumpet can sound like a $2,000 one when played by a pro though. Sticky valves? I would say not, just remember to oil them often, and don't play them in freezing temperatures unless you oil them right before you do.. This one is the best I've seen for the money..

Yes. According to one review I read, the effect is due to processing the upper and lower ends of the sound range. The net result is the perceived improvement in the mid ranges. Another way to look at it is, I'm 70 and it really sounds better.Chuck

Yes. If you get your pointer within an inch or two it will sound off! I have found metal items in grass that I was not even looking for. Pointer is extremely sensitive and would work great for finding brass in tall grass. The closer the pointer gets to the case, the faster the pointer will beep and vibrate.

Agree with the two previous posts. If you move the pocket clip you can deploy it from either side, additionally you can draw it in a forward or rearward motion. The videos on youtube will help you get the motion down. Good luck! If you don't like it send me an email. I'll take it off your hands.

To be honest, I have not heard the three trumpet ones. But I can assure you that you will not be disappointed with the four horn setup.

Ya I think so. It has a accented high frequency that I think would work good for a trumpet. I usually use it for vocals and acoustic guitars and end up boosting the mid-lows a bit because its a little thin but I think it would be good for a trumpet in my opinion. I havnt tried it for any brass though so this is just a general thought

No, not in my experience. The tuning knob has a decent amount of resistance to movement, so moving around in a pocket is very unlikely to move it off station.

The recorders I'm familiar with have had the same fingering as a sax, but without the little-finger-key options for flats/sharps (leaving a higher hole open instead of depressing a levered key with the little finger). I don't think you'll have any problem with it.

I would say so. The PR15 has a good sound, is light weight, and has a built in handle in the back for convenience. Best, Andy's Music

Yes it can!!! I actually plays really well. At first I thought my flute was broken because I couldn't play those notes, but I late realized that is was my breathing that was wrong and I had to reset the keys!

No problems . There are lock rings if utilized, that prevent moving of the adj. knobs. I'm a long range shooter and have no idea as to quick target acquisition .

This flute is able to reach the full range of notes, no matter how low or high they are. However, professionals prefer open holed flutes (flutes that have holes on top of the keys) because they allow faster tuning and belly the sound more, providing well done intonation, blends, and balances. In high school band there will probably be a mix of opened and closed hole flutes ( this particular product is closed hole). The reason for this is that open holed flutes are harder to play and require much more breath and skill. It's up to you to decide where you will put the effort in and whether this flute would fulfill your needs! This flute is able to reach the full range of notes, no matter how low or high they are.

I used this stand for my double trigger bass trombone when I played in the pit for a musical and it was just fine. Albeit I was always a little nervous about it, but I felt more secure if I turned the trombone so that the slide was right above one of the legs and not in between two of them. So yes, I would say that with some common sense and safety thoughts, this stand would work just fine for a small bore f attachment horn.

not sure, I returned this trumpet because it is not as good as regular trumpet

Yes it does. I can easily play notes and complex chords at the uppermost fret with ease.
