Enrique Carrillo carried out a very accurate and analytical review of The Trumpet on Musicador (in Spanish). Please have a look.
"At present, it does not exist anything better. If you need a very high quality trumpet, don't hesitate. You will not find a better investment, and a price of Euro 149 is really a steal".

Reviews and opinions
"The Trumpet is by far the most playable and most authentic virtual trumpet ever."
"The amount of possible articulations is so huge that you can use The Trumpet in any musical style."
"It is an absolutely exceptional library using a pioneering intelligent and ergonomic concept."
"In view of the performance, the price is almost a bargain."
"This is not simply another sample-trumpet, but a virtual instrument which can be played [...] in such a way that you would never expect a computer behind it."
"Despite the underlying technological complexity, it all works beautifully, and with a little practice it’s remarkably easy to play and shape a convincing trumpet performance."
"The sound quality and articulations are second-to-none – it’s a virtual instrument that just begs to be played."
"The Trumpet is a truly remarkable virtual instrument which, like the Stradivari Solo Violin, provides a fascinating playing experience and an incredibly realistic trumpet emulation."
"This instrument is simply superb."
"All the musicians who wish an expressive and dynamic solistic sound won´t regret this investment."
"A well-programmed passage can be hardly distinguished from a real instrument". "The Trumpet is really a perfect instrument for an attractive price. Let´s hope that this sample modeling technology will be applied to future solo instruments." Keys, June 2008, Germany
"Each of the instruments sounded excellent, with respect to both the faithfulness of the tone to the instrument being modeled and to the quality of the tone on that instrument."
"Even in its stock configuration, The Trumpet is a pleasure to play." "In fact, [The Trumpet] raises the bar for acoustic instrument emulation yet again." CakewalkNet review by Rick Paul
"The instrument itself is a real success, responding perfectly to its specifications: realism, playability, simplicity."
"With The Trumpet, past the learning phase, one spends his time playing, and not programming."
"The mix samples + modeling allows to achieve a quite incredible realism."
"Undeniably, a great step forward, very promising for the future of virtual instruments simulating reality."
