Sure this one's a bit more than the other toy trumpets. But we had this one, it broke (after a year of daily use by our 1.5 year old boy). We replaced it with the cheaper one which broke in just a few weeks.
I just surprized my son with this one for his 3rd birthday. He was so excited to have his trumpet back.
If you looking for a toy trumpet that feels like real and has a nice sound - you will not beat this one!

Firstly, I'm not a parent. I bought this Early Learning Centre (UK) toy to examine its potential as an educational tool. Of all the inexpensive toy instruments I've bought so far, I am most disappointed in this one. Many toy instruments are simply cheaper versions of real instruments capable of teaching children or even adults the gross basics of playing them. This is not the case here as this isn't even a trumpet but a four-note melodica shaped like a trumpet. It can play E5-A5-C#6-E6. Mine is surprisingly well tuned, off by at most 5Hz with A880 off by only 0.2Hz (2.5 cents)!
Its construction seams rugged and design suitable for a three-year-old but I foresee kids age 6 and over getting board with it quickly. I haven't had problems with the valves yet and it makes sound easily with little effort. Judging from other reviews I may have gotten lucky. The body appears to be chrome plated ABS while the mouthpiece, buttons and valve covers are cheaper polystyrene(colors differ from the picture). The valve covers are glued with industrial adhesive so it can't be disassembled without breaking it. Mine is not yet broken so I can only assume the reeds are brass and the valves are plastic with steel springs and poly foam seals. Condensation must be air-dried. There are two finger rings for gripping with the non-playing hand.
Comparison:
The Schylling Toys Piano Horn (ASIN: B000RC2XB0) is 3 times more useful and 1/4 the price, and also has superior valve design. For school-aged children (6 and up) I can recommend the Hohner 32 Note Melodica Key Board (ASIN: B000BD5O5M); $5 more expensive but concert quality and useful unto adulthood. It seams a real quality toy trumpet costing less than $30.00 has yet to be invented. The most affordable real trumpets of any worth are over $100.00 new. The Noteworthy Bb Student Trumpet (ASIN: B001RLMBPI) or Conductor Bb Student Trumpet (ASIN: B000BUX3BC) are your best bet but because of their size, weight and complexity are probably best suited for children ages 9 and up.

Good toy trumpet. Made of plastic but realistic looking. Plays like a toy, but has good working buttons and good range of sound. Good for the price.

Harmonica trumpet
This "trumpet" sounds more like a harmonica than a trumpet. Does require a valve to be pressed for it to make any sound and can play only four notes alone or all at once. Read more

Quality little musical instrument for kids
We've had these for a year now for a 2 yr old and 4 yr old. They love them and the trumpets have held up great to the rough play of boys, which I'm always happy to see.

Great for just regular old playing
I think the reviews about pitch and sound is putting too much pressure on a $10 trumpet for kids. I am surprised that it has four individual notes and I think they sound great. Read more

Toy Trumpet
Overall, we like the toy. However, the green button doesn't work at all. Never did...the other notes sound pretty good. Maybe we just got a defective one...
