Pro Tec L226SP Trumpet 6-Point Leather Valve Guard

I used this on a Bach Stradivarius 43 and a Yamaha 8443. It fits both of them perfectly fine. It covers all contact-points for my left hand, so I only touch the 1st and 3rd valve rings. It's very well built, using good leather and very well stitched. As expected from ProTec. My sweat is very acid, so I have always used valve guards. So far, a home-made guard I got manually stitched by a high-end leather-purse maker was the best I used. This one is almost as good (minus some custom embroidery I added just to experiment). Definitely the best "mass-produced" valve guard I yet tried. It's still leather, so I'd recommend to take it off now and then so it dries off. I'll be buying a spare one just for that.

Great protection for trumpet. Do not expect in a hurry. Good quality - I now have a three as my trumpets have expensive finishes that will be difficult to replace

Se ajusta muy bien y el material es bueno

Super

すぐに届きました。 ポスト投函配達だったので不在でも煩わしくなく助かりました。 今回はトランペットを吹く妻のために購入しましたがグリップ感も良く大変気に入っている様子です。 ただ、Bachのトランペットに装着したのですが1番管の指かけに少し引っ掛かるようでスライドが少し浮いていました。 それ以外は特に問題ありません。

I've purchased 2 of these in the past year and I'm pretty happy with them. On one horn I use it to protect my hand from the lacquer that is wearing off and on a different horn I use it to protect the silver plate from tarnish. It protected my hand from the lacquer very well and I'd give it 5 stars for that purpose, but there's a few issues with using it to protect silver plate. Depending on how you hold your trumpet, it maybe take some bending and breaking in to get this to fit your hand, so for a week or so it won't protect the horn fully. Whenever I take the protector off I have found smudges and marks under it that wipe off easily, these shouldn't be a problem if you regularly (every month or so) clean your trumpet. If you don't I would recommend cleaning under the gaurd at least every other month to be safe. Appearance and comfort wise it's very good and it feels high quality. They're consistent as both feel exactly the same on both trumpets. They fit both very well too, a bach beginner trumpet and a yamaha xeno. I would buy it again as it's worth the money, but I don't have any other trumpets.

It fits my Yamaha student trumpet very nicely, and it does provide very good protection from the sweat of my fingers. Highly recommended
