Is this trumpet really good for concerts and /or for orchestra playing? Would like an adult with playing experience to answer if possible.

This trumpet is good for someone just starting out, not for proficient playing. smc

Take a look at the Music Hall Marimbas. They are nothing short of astonishing for the money. They recently got a terrific, and well deserved, review in Stereophile.I hope this is helpful,Jack Tozzi for the vacationing Dick Moulding.

I googled "what is the oontz angle amp wattage". I saw an answer of "it pushes out 10 watts". Any thing else, just what the description says. As a user, I can tell you, it plays loud enough for me. It's certainly not meant for orchestral sound, but for a Bluetooth, it works very well. There is a warranty that comes with it. I tossed that paper work, so I can't answer. Cambridge soundworks is the maker of the oontz.

Hi Ed,We got this for our 15 year old daughter who is an accomplished violin player. She uses it with a Fender Mustang 1 amp that offers dozens of effects. She has had much fun playing this violin (sounds like a rock star) and it sounds good for a violin at this price. You will no doubt want to replace strings for best results. A new set of diaddarrio preludes will do fine for the electric. Best of luck.

Hello Rahul, Yes, this instrument is good for kids. My child is under 12yrs and the size is perfect. All I had to do was allow her music instructor to tune it for her. Other than that all is well. I have not had any incident with it and it is still in good working condition. I am a very satisfied customer with this product. I hope this helps to answer your question Best regards

As a music teacher, I would respond that this is not really a substitute for a brass instrument. It doesn't respond the same way as brass and will not allow a child student to develop the right breathing and embouchure. I bought mine just for fun, and for that it is perfect. It is very light to carry and well made. Everything works like a real trombone; it just doesn't have the same feel or sound.

I would say this is a good starter violin and beyond, Andrew. We've had no problems with it and my daughter's teacher was quite pleased with the sound quality/construction. Good luck in your choice :)

Don't buy this trumpet at all. It is made of inferior material and will not play in tune. The best introductory mouthpiece is a Bach 7c not a 5c

It does make good sound! Up past a high d or so it can get a little squeaky if you aren't careful.. It was in fine shape when I bought it, though it was already strung and the g and e strings broke, but I restrung it anyway. I've played better instruments of course, and I just bought this one really to see if I could get a decent violin for that cheap, and I did! All of what you receive is worth more than what you pay for. I'd recommend it for if you wanted a colored violin for festivals, a special/themed concert, or just for practice and the occasion orchestra rehearsal or concert.

Hello john, this is good for some good music. It depends on your intended use really. Its not meant for parties, but background music and alone music is great. Also look at the db sensativity on your speakers. Some speakers will sound louder at same volume then others. Cheers!

I'm an adult as well, with small hands. I can play this instrument very easily, but after an hour or so, my right hand starts hurting. I'm very sure you will be able to reach all the holes but it might hurt you after a while. I still recommend this instrument for you.

It is looks like aged brass not like you would see on a trumpet. I like because it makes it look old.

To be truthful, I didn't even check. I bought it for my young daughter who instantly fell in love with it. It's a very nice instrument, and she plays it often. Has a great sound (though i would spend a few bucks and get a better set of mallets) We wanted to upgrade from the 2.5 octave glockenspiel to something a bit bigger and this was the only realistic option within my budget. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes percussive instruments!

https://m.reddit.com/comments/286hv7Check the above link out - video of someone who plugged in a violin and how exactly they tuned it to the game- like someone else said you'd have to figure out yourself how notes correlate to the tablature which will be a complication and also just a downside to the game as you won't be able to read music afterwards

This instrument would probably good for beginners because of it's sheer simplicity, as it only has six holes. There is a pamphlet that comes with it that describes how to play it, and gives you fingerings for two octaves on the musical staff. It is easy to learn once you get the hang of lip placement on the mouthpiece, and I think that if you were to transition to the flute or piccolo, it would prepare you for the transition, as you would be able to control your tone and airflow better with practice from this instrument.

The trumpet is an amazing instrument but you are correct, a tough instrument for a five year old. There is a soprano version of this type of recorder. It is just the right size for small hands. It doesn't sound as noble as a horn but learning the notes will give your boy a strong grounding so that when he is big enough for a trumpet....next year?....he will already be able to read music....although; the trumpet is in a different key. Still, just learning to sight read is a big deal.

The sound is pretty typical of electronic violins. It is fine for practice. If used for performance, external amplification and tonal controls will be required and the quality of the sound will be dependent more on the quality of those devices than on this instrument. If he has a decent standard violin, he will be dissapointed in the dynamic range of this or any other electronic instrument.
