Trumpetgear is a newly formed family business - that started in May 2008.
Our goal is to bring better quality products to the market at reasonable prices.
Too long has the NZ community had to put up with products that I would consider to be inferior to what is available on the international market and paid high prices for them.
As we are purely an internet based operator we do not have additional expenditure in staffing and overheads etc. that we need to pass on to the final user (you) - That means we can bring you some of the best at an affordable price.

Don is my father, and he will be responsible for running the business and operations whilst I am out of the country.
He is a stand up man, and will go the extra mile to make sure you get what you need.
He will be the first point of contact for most of you in NZ and can answer your queries on any shipments or orders.
