Big Sound From A Little Horn

The Amati ATR 314 Bb Pocket Trumpets offer a full concert hall sound in a compact and affordable package.

The ATR 314 Series Pocket Trumpets feature a .437-inch bore with a fixed 3rd valve finger ring for easy response and intonation adjustment.

Pocket trumpets are a bit of a novelty. Perhaps this one more so than most because it comes in a variety of color finishes! A pocket trumpet's real advantage is being extremely portable.

The 314 Pocket Trumpet also features a 3.74-inch bell for excellent projection from this small instrument.

Manufactured in the Czech Republic to the highest standards of European craftsmanship, Amati instruments are exceptional values that play comparably to much more expensive instruments.

Included with the Amati ATR 314 Bb Pocket Trumpets is a case and mouthpiece.

Lowest priced quality made Pocket trumpet
 
Review Date: September 17, 2007
Reviewer: Brian, Cailfornia,
I am a professional trumpet player I own this pocket trumpet and recommend it for anyone on a budget.
If you are considering buying a pocket trumpet trust me: DO NOT BUY A LOWER PRICED POCKET TRUMPET!
This trumpet is quality made in the Czech Republic with stainless steel valves & my only complaint is it should have a 2nd water key (Spit valve). They have a good warranty program but you probably will never need to use it.
I also really like the Jupiter Pocket trumpet which I own but it is more money. Pocket trumpets are a gimmick for advanced players. A normal Bb trumpet is recommended for a beginner.

Experience w/product: I have heard about it
Reviewer's Background: 2 music degrees/professional trumpet experience
Reviewer's Play Style: Jazz, standard tunes
I Love this horn. I got it a few months ago as a birthday present from my wife. The horn plays best if you don't over blow it - it only has a small bell. When played like this it has a quasi - flugelhorn sound. The horn is fun to play. The valves are superb - very smooth.

A Five Star Review by B Finigan
Musical Experience: musician since 1970
Style of Music: Jazz/Western Swing

This little horn not only has a big sound but is in tune. It has a small bore and small bell and seems to have a specially designed mouthpiece which works better than any other mouthpiece I have, and I have plenty! Over the years I (have) had 2 other pocket trumpets and did not enjoy playing them because of bad valves and they did not play in tune.

Amati is well made and the bell is like a miniature flugelhorn bell so maybe that helps it achieve a big dark sound. I did not want a big bell/large bore pocket trumpet but I would have tried one if I had not been more than satisfied with the sound of the Amati.

The big sound surprised so many other reviewers that I had to try it and I'm glad I did. The Amati mpc says "7C" but I think it must be bigger than a Bach 7C because I play 16.75mm and it is very close to that size. The Amati mpc also bottoms out on my main trumpet so it is different and I've written Amati asking about the 7C but have gotten no response.

TERRIBLE TRUMPET - LOOKS GOOD, DOESN'T WORK
 
Review Date: February 3, 2009
Reviewer: K. Blaser,
I purchased this item for my son, and should have known better since I was a professional musician for half my life. There is a GOOD reason this is so cheap... it is of unbelievably poor quality. It looks beautiful and can produce a decent tone once the valves are in position, but the valves do not work. They stick constantly, which is very frustrating for the beginner who is working hard on embouchure and fingering, only to find that it is hopeless since the valves are ridiculously non-responsive. Valve oil does not help. I'm a double reed player myself, so I had a professional trumpet player inspect the trumpet to get his advice, and he agrees it is absolutely worthless. Save your money and either rent something of higher quality, or spend the dough to get something better. I hope this review helps!!
Well worth the money!

Reviewer: Leslie, Chicago, IL
I was skeptical before buying this but decided to take my chances. When I received it I was surprised. The finish was very good. It looks great. Came with a very sturdy carrying case. The sound it also good, will work well for the school band. Thumbs up.

This trumpet is great. It works perfectly and the valves work fine. ADVISE - If the valves dont fit back into place try seeing if the spring is tangled up or if your teacher can help ask the band teach. for help. Thank you Bye
