Yamaha Trova Casual Wind Instrument

The First Trumpet for Children

Trova is a unique wind instrument featuring branches pipe technology that allows children to learn and enjoy the basics of brass instrument playing at an early age - pre trumpet.

Trova is lightweight, durable and uses the same buzzing principal as a standard trumpet to produce natural-harmonic notes. There are no valves and therefore no fingerings to learn, so the young player can dive right in and start having musical fun.

Realistic Brass Instrument Sound

The branched pipe system produces conical-bore characteristics in an instrument with a cylindrical bore. Two branched pipes make it possible to play the natural-harmonic note series of an actual trumpet.

Durability: The use of cylindrical tubing throughout the instrument allows thicker tube walls for extra durability.

• Standard trumpet wall thickness: approx 0.5 mm
• Trova wall thickness: approx 1.0 mm 

Lightweight: Aluminum tubing dramatically reduces overall weight

• Standard trumpet weight: approx 1,100 grams
• Trova weight: approx 180 grams

Easy to Play and Maintain

• Trova has no valves and no fingerings to learn, so children can start playing and experiencing the enjoyment of brass instruments right away
• Trova is a buzzing instrument played by vibrating the lips against the mouthpiece, just like standard trumpets, trombones, etc
• Cylindrical tubing is wrapped to create a compact, easily manageable body 
• In playing position, the instrument's center of gravity is close to the player, so it is easy for children to hold
• Trova is not as loud as standard brass instrument and can therefore be played in a wide range of environments and situations
• Volume can be reduced even more by removing the bell
• Simple structure allows the instrument's interior to be washed out with running water
