Despite costing around half the price of a beginner brass trumpet, the pTrumpet hyTech is a legitimate instrument that feels right at home among real brass instruments. Because its main body is made from recyclable ABS plastic, this stunning horn weighs in at just 1.4 pounds — including an aluminum valve system and a hybrid leadpipe design! The pTrumpet hyTech also dons a unique right-hand pinky rest that encourages smaller players to maintain good technique and posture, resulting in longer, more productive practice sessions. Lastly, the pTrumpet hyTech comes ready to play: you’ll find a classic, beginner-friendly 7C mouthpiece packaged in its padded gig bag, so you can get to playing straight away. Durable, dependable, and affordable — that's the pTrumpet hyTech.
A successor of the beloved pTrumpet 2.0, the hyTech has been brilliantly redesigned to produce an even richer sound that blends seamlessly with fully brass instruments. The pTrumpet hyTech’s 5-inch bell — which improves balance by adding weight to the prominently plastic end of the instrument — works with its patented hybrid leadpipe to deliver an effortlessly powerful sound. Included with the pTrumpet hyTech is a renowned metal Bach 7C mouthpiece that inspires crisp articulation and sharp tone, helping players achieve that authentic brass trumpet sound.
The pTrumpet hyTech starts with a body made from ABS plastic, a revolutionary material that’s lightweight and made to last. Then, a medium-large bore flares out to a slightly oversized metal-polymer bell. You'll also find a hybrid metal-polymer leadpipe, a set of stainless steel sleeved pistons, and aluminum valve caps, stems, and finger buttons. Finishing touches include metal water keys and silicon seals on its first- and third-valve tuning slides.
Thanks to pInstruments, playing a brass instrument is more accessible than ever. Every pInstrument is remarkably affordable, long lasting, and made from incredibly high-performing glass fiber, a hard-wearing plastic that effectively mimics the sound of traditional brass instruments. They offer three instruments for true beginners — pBugle, pBone Mini, and pBuzz — as well as more advanced horns like the pCornet, the pTrumpet, and the pBone. Because of their practicality, pInstruments have grown increasingly popular among music educators and young musicians. Still, musicians at Sweetwater find that they are equally appropriate and fun to play for professionals, too.
