Beginner-friendly, Durable Metal-polymer Trumpet 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.

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. That’s so metal!
