Thomann TR 5 Bb pocket trumpet

Not just a minimalist gimmick!

When it comes to sound, the TR-5 Bb delivers the distinctive character of a pocket trumpet, setting this instrument apart from standard, full-sized models with a bright, clearly defined tone reminiscent of a small cornet. As is typical for pocket trumpets, with their tightly wound tubing, the TR-5 Bb offers slightly more resistance when blowing – but in return, it delivers a powerful, loud, and assertive sound. Notes are easy to bend with solid intonation, the slides move smoothly, and the valves respond reliably, making the Thomann TR-5 Bb far more than just a visually striking showpiece. It's a fully functional instrument that will rise to any musical challenge, shining especially brightly as a solo voice.

Definitely eye-catching

The TF-5 Bb pocket trumpet from Thomann is designed to appeal to a wide range of musicians, and its exceptionally affordable price makes this instrument a perfect fit for parades, marching bands, Guggenmusik, and both traditional and modern ensembles. The TF-5 Bb proves its versatility across genres like brass band music, Pop, Jazz, or even Top 40 performances, making it an ideal companion for anyone who doesn't want to be without their trumpet – whether on their lunch break, having a picnic, or while travelling. Many musicians swear by the pocket trumpet as a reliable second instrument alongside their standard trumpet, especially given its accessible price point.

About Thomann wind instruments

Thomann-brand instruments, which are exclusively built by renowned manufacturers, now constitute a large part of Thomann's product range alongside numerous big-name brands. With unbeatable price-performance ratios, Thomann wind instruments are the obvious first choice for students and beginners – and others too. The technical features and uncompromising sound quality they offer are usually reserved for much more expensive instruments found in the professional market segment.

For advanced and ambitious players

A pocket trumpet isn't easier to play simply because it's smaller; its compact size comes from the tighter coiling of the tubing, not from a reduction in overall length, which means it's not specifically designed for students or beginners. Instead, the TR-5 pocket trumpet is intended for experienced musicians looking to enjoy their playing while offering their audience something unique, both in sound and appearance. However, to focus only on its striking looks would be to overlook its real strengths – this is an instrument that impresses not just visually, but also with its expressive sound and outstanding value for money.

pocket rocket
ColmM 10.04.2014
This was the best musical purchase I have ever made, quite simply because it let me travel with a trumpet without worry. I traveled from Cuba to Mexico and Guatemala, playing this lttle trumpet along the way, jamming with local musicians and even was offered a job playing with a group in Belize! I made a soft case for it but after that I could just throw it into my rucksack and off I went. Although lacking the resonance of a standard trumpet, this pocket rocket has good tuning and can still deliver a powerful enough sound, depending on who's behind the mouthpiece.

powerful little thing!
Johnny Notions 29.01.2024
I'm very happy with this pocket trumpet. Comes with a nice case, valve-oil, mouthpiece, and even a pair of white gloves. It takes a while to get used to the smaller dimensions and a bit of practice to get the tone right, but then it is a surprisingly soulful instrument. very good and voluptuous sound, only the tone ends a little abruptly when I want to fade out. It doesn't quite possess the depths of my full-size trumpet but its volume, tone and response are much better than I had expected. I do a lot of busking in shopping centres so the size of the trumpet is ideal as I don't have to carry any clunky equipment with me, on top of that it's an eye-catcher, which makes it easier to convince people to part with their money! Quality-wise it seems to be a solid, well-built instrument, only when pulling out the slightly ill-fitting tuning slides you can see that it's not an expensive make. Probably owing to the small dimensions water accumulates quite quickly inside the trumpet, especially in colder weather. This water is difficult to get rid of through the water valves and only by frequent shaking, blowing and turning the instrument upside down can you avoid an unpleasant bubbling sound while playing. Overall an amazing little trumpet for very little money! I bought it as part of the deal that includes a trumpet stand and a brass cleaning set. Highly recommended - even better value for your money!!

Very versatile
ric_lord 12.03.2020
Yes a normal size trumpet is easier to play and more in tune, but this robust little bb trumpet is easier to keep near at all times after its size, and for some reason it sounds awesome dark or mellow.

Pocket perfection
UK Andy L 03.09.2024
I need something small for a trip away, so ordered this. I have to say, I’m surprised, really surprised, and pleasantly so. The case feels sturdy, quite light and compact, and easy to carry. A small bottle of valve oil and care instructions in various languages were included in an outer pocket.

The trumpet itself has a nice finish, with no obvious blemishes in the lacquer (which I’ve seen in other more expensive trumpets), the slides move nicely and smoothly, and the valves spring confidently quickly. Playing it is what surprised me most. Once the main tuning slide was suitably adjusted and tuned I found it gave a nice tone which feels balanced and even throughout the whole range from bottom F# to a high register E. If I were learning to play the trumpet from scratch, I’d probably choose this.
