Fantastic reed great sense of depth from the tone it delivers. So much so i have ordered more direct from the maker. Please stock the full range that would be great.
Great sound easy response and plays well. Although i feel i keed slightly harder reeds. Coming from playing the clarinet for nearly 20 years and playing a 3.5 reed. I didnt know what i would need. A great beginner reed.
Nice instrument well finished plays well very pleased
This is an excellent cleaning aid, it allows you to send a jet of water through your instrument without taking it apart and it clears out any muck. It can be used without removing the valves although when finished I removed the slides and valves to drain all the water out. When deep cleaning your instrument it is possible to jet the indivdual slides for a more aimed clean. Either way I think it's an idea to oil the valves and grease the slides when the instrument is dry. I would say it cleans better than using a snake brush alone.
I hadn’t tried these particular reeds before but I found they have a good rich sound but not too stiff to blow
Wow!!!!
I’ve been playing a Bach Strad for 30 years and playing more commercial music lately, this is ideal! Have a lool for some of the video reviews, all say you cant make the sound crack - ive been trying ever sonce i got this and not managed yet.
Yes, its heavy, but im certain i’ll get used to that.
Can’t wait for its first public outing this weekend!!!
Also the speed of service from John Packer was amazing! Ordered one day, arrived the next to my surprise!!!
Excellent prompt service, delighted with the mouth piece.
Exemplary - service, delivery, product. Im not free with false praise or insincere platitudes. I'm the wrong generation for that foolishness. As a mainly Flugelhorn player this pocket trumpet is absolutely brilliant fun to just pick up and enjoy, love it
A good mouthpiece for the money… a little deeper and slightly narrower rim than a Paxman 4B (old version) but pretty close…
It does its job as a stand well, but I was disappointed to find that its main feature of neatly fitting into the bell doesn't work for me because the stand protrudes a few millimeters and won't then, fit my case.
Goods arrived within expected time frame
Replacement 4th valve stem made it work better.
Good starter mouthpiece. Arrived promptly and well packaged.
Excellent service as ever from the John Packer team.
Great service not complicate. Would like the number of payments remaining to be included on every invoice would improve the service for me
This is the best slide lubricant I have ever used. In fact, I had assumed that two of trombone slides were always going to be a bit sticky, despite using Slide o Mix regularly. But now, those slides jusy whizz up and down. I should add that I do not have any confluct of interest.
Good selection - useful and not overwhelming - and the sling has made a world of difference to my son (and I worry less about him dropping my euphonium)! The price was good, and it arrived quickly. Very impressed.
Excellent customer service & A very happy son with his new trumpet.
sounds amazing really pleased I bought it
Sounds great really pleased I bought it.
I’m delighted with this instrument. It arrived promptly and was well packed. Its case is sturdy with a decent size pocket for music etc.. The instrument is well made. It’s heavier than my previous instrument with a heavier grade of metal. The mouthpiece it comes with is fine, although I’m sticking with my usual one. The valves are well engineered and the instrument is in tune. It has a lovely sound, plays well and is beautiful to look at. Excellent value.
