Fazley ART-TP100-G ABS Gold Bb Trumpet

General

Designed for beginners, no matter their age, the lightweight Fazley ART-TP100 ABS trumpet has a Bb tuning - the most accessible tuning a trumpet can have, and since it's been moulded from ABS and given a gold-coloured coating before being fitted with metal valves and a metal and ABS valve housing, this trumpet has a smooth, friction-free playing feel. While it doesn't come including valve oil, the Fazley ART-TP100 does come with an ABS mouthpiece and a soft-case.

The Fazley ART-TP100 Bb Trumpet

Any built up condensation can be drained off with ease via the water key fitted to the lead pipe, which can also be adjusted to raise or lower the pitch of the first valve. The pitch of the other valves can also be adjusted to make the C# and D sound proportionally lower, for example, since these notes can sound unnaturally high for a Bb trumpet. The bell has a 129mm diameter and an 11.6mm bore, while the entire instrument weighs just 500 grams.

Why Play a Plastic Trumpet?

By starting with a lightweight, plastic instrument, kids that are picking up the trumpet for the first time get a genuine instrument that has a more manageable weight and size, rather than having to start with the smaller cornet. Traditional brass instruments are also fairly sensitive to scratches and dents and tend to be more expensive, which is maybe not the best option when your child might suddenly become obsessed with playing the piano or tennis after just six months of trumpet lessons. The durable ABS plastic Fazley trumpet is not only much more affordable, but more hard-wearing, so it's able to take a few knocks and shocks on the way to school and back, making it the perfect introductory instrument.

• Valve oil does not come included with this trumpet. To ensure that the valves move smoothly, it is recommended to purchase a bottle of valve oil. Compatible valve oil can be found under the suggested accessories or in the package deals listed below.
• Tip: If you won't be playing your trumpet for a while, make sure to loosen the valves to prevent them from becoming stuck.
