Some reviewers have noted that the tuning system for the Cool Wind trumpet is quite accurate and good at maintaining a consistent tone.

In 2019 the company was presented with a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in recognition of its pioneering development of ABS recyclable plastic ‘brass’.In my experience of playing and listening to others play multiple brands of plastic trumpets and plastic trombones, EVERY SINGLE PLASTIC HORN sounded noticeably better with ANY silver-plated brass mouthpiece that we tried, versus the OEM plastic or acrylic mouthpieces that came with the plastic horns. In explaining the structure of a cornet, the shape speaks a lot about its identity, and there are two unique shapes available. The first of both shapes are known as the Shepherd’s Crook, and the corners of this shape possess quite boldly curved regions that are positioned beneath the expanded part of the cornet where the sound pours out known as the bell. The second is the Trumpet-Style cornet shape, which looks almost identically like the trumpet structure; there are narrow curves beneath the bell that helps produce a bright sound.

It’s unfortunate to hear about the mechanical issues you’ve encountered with the original Tromba/Allora horns. It seems like they have some durability and quality control issues that can be frustrating for players. However, it’s good to know that the Coolwind, Kaiser, and newer Allora models have improved valves and better overall performance. The Tromba brand is a successful offshoot of a leading plastic injection moulding design and production company based in China that has some clever chappies involved with considerable experience in instrument development and design. It is known as a brass instrument with valves but has a short semi-conical tubing and less brilliant tone that falls somewhere between bright sound and deep sounds. The structure of the Cornet is similar to the structure of a trumpet, but with a more compact and complex appearance that contributes to the unique sounds it produces. Professionals and advanced players may decide to opt for a C trumpet as these are tunes higher and have a smaller body. DurabilityThe slides are snugly fitted (all of which are adjustable - the third by the use of a push out finger ring), the waterkeys are robust and the excellent brace struts ensure that the odd clumsy mishap won’t bend things out of shape. The versatile design of the Tromba also attracts existing cornet players. These players are now leaving their delicate and expensive instruments at home and instead, are choosing the Tromba cornet when weather-resistance is vital. Included Accessories Getting started in music has never been easier with the pCornet. Loved by all ages of players for its durability and comfortable design, the pCornet has opened up the world of brass to a whole new group of players. The versatile design of the pCornet also attracts existing brass players. These trumpets are colorful and come in a wide variety of colors and finishes for that extra customization.

The main tuning slide is easily replaced, whilst the first and third are interchangeable. The valves can swap places too – opened from the bottom. You will need to keep an eye on the springs not bouncing into the dark crevices of the settee, but there shouldn’t be any real reason why they need to be opened up.
