PAMPET Bugle Trumpet B Flat Plastic Trumpet with Mouthpiece for Band School Student (Pink)

I liked that this was under $20. I wanted something that I could travel with or throw in the trunk when I didn't want to take along my shiny expensive trumpet. I'm still a novice so need all the practice I can get. This will let me do some lip slurs, double tonguing, and other basics (bugle calls, of course!) on the road.

This came in pieces when it arrived. It looked like the glue didn’t hold up. Very cheep quality. We sent it back. Would not hold up for a 3 year old even if we repaired it.

The black pipe seems to have been the wrong size to mate properly with the blue pipes. Air was leaking at these joints. I had to twist a bit to get the joint fully open. Then I applied hot glue and resealed the joints. Working much better now. Mine did include the mouthpiece.

Once i got it, it had a few air leaks. The mouthpiece that comes with it works well with the bugle and a brass trumpet. The bugle sound quality is very bad. low C and middle staff G sound really blocked. The instruments tuning was way off, i think a half step sharper. Overall not worth they buy unless you want to mess with it. I took it to a river and it floats.

I ordered this bugle for a 2-year old to carry around and learn to buzz with. The bugle arrived damaged: one bracket between the lead pipe and the bell pipe was broken, and the U-bend leading to the bell pipe was not sized correctly to be able to seal itself in order to play correctly. Also, we had ordered a yellow bugle with a black mouthpiece, but received a yellow bugle with a pink mouthpiece.

Hardly works - first one shipped was busted due to packing or lack their of...my son can’t get a sound out of it - my husband who plays trumpet can hardly play it - don’t waste your time or money

It did not come with the mouthpiece as described. Quite disappointed.

My son loved it!
