Good introduction to musical instrumentsNov 10, 2006
By Profteezy
I'll admit I bought this for my 4 year old who not only blows into it but throws it and bangs it agaisnt the TV. So although he wanted it I probably should've waited a few years to show him just how cool the trumpet is.
I think kids who show signs of interest in music will enjoy it. It actually sounds like a harmonica but what do you expect for $14. Still, the valves do work and produce different notes so that's really the point to it. Getting them familiar with how an instrument works. They even have a musical pieces on the back of the box with color coded notes so your young Dizzy Gilepsie and can follow along.
Aw go ahead a grab it, why not?
My son Miles approves of this message.

 LOVE IT!Jan 20, 2007
By N. eaton
"Tasha"
All year long, my three and a half year old daughter asked for a digital camera for Christmas. 3-weeks before Christmas, she sat on Santa's lap at the mall and asked for a TRUMPET of all things. I immediately came home and searched online. Everyone had the colorful play trumpets that were electronic with diferent characters on them, but none of them looked real! And I'm pretty sure that my daughter was expecting Santa to bring a real trumpet, so I found this, ordered it and it was here BEFORE the estimated delivery date!
It is extremely lightweight (cannot be used as a weapon), each button has a different tone to it AND it looks real (besides the fact that it's not brass). She loved it! She plays it all the time and unbelievably, it's not the most annoying toy she has. I would recommend it to anyone with young children interested in musical instruments.

 For $10 extra bucks...Apr 13, 2007
By asksimon
My two-year old LOVES the trumpet. He even sleeps with it. The first one he had broke so we needed to replace it. Unable to find one in town, I chose between the two here on Amazon.
I'm sure now that that one we originally had was not the Bontempi brand. The Bontempi is made of that thin plastic while (I believe the $24 one) is like what we had - that thicker waxy feeling plastic.
The first only broke after a year of hard daily use and a guest who didn't see it before they stepped on it. This new one, I fear won't last as long.
Consider the $24 one if you think you're child will really love to play it as much as mine does.

Great instrument that's really an instrument!Jan 05, 2007
By Laura Madsen
The child playing this trumpet must really blow air into it and press the keys to get it to play music. This is so refreshing, since a lot of "musical instruments" for kids now are all battery powered musicboxes that don't require any skill or give any sense of accomplishment when played. Bravo to the company who makes this!

This Trumpet is a BugleJun 28, 2010
By Karen A. Amrhein
"Karen A."
The "Botempi" toy trumpet is a reasonably sturdy plastic toy instrument. It's really a bugle, playing just four pitches (think "Taps"): E-A-C#-E (the two Es being an octave apart). However, the low E and the A are of dubious tuning. This can be a problem if one wishes to use the toy trumpet in conjunction with other instruments (a toy piano or toy clarinet, for example). I'm a composer, and I wrote a little piece for this toy trumpet, the "Botempi" toy clarinet, the "House of Marbles" toy drum (highly recommended), and a Schoenhut toy piano (a fine instrument). I found that I was only able to reliably use the upper two notes (E and C#) of the toy trumpet when accompanying the toy piano or the toy clarinet.
The sound of both the "Botempi" toy wind instruments is close to that of the harmonica (actually, it's a cross between an harmonica and the medieval crumhorn), so don't expect a "trumpet" sound. Still, it's easy to use and sturdy, assuming gentle play. If you don't need the pitches to be accurate, you don't need a lot of notes, and you don't need a toy instrument that sounds like its non-toy counterpart (which may not exist), then this is an amusing and smile-inducing toy instrument.
