pBone Plastic Trombone with Mouthpiece and Carry Bag - Bb Student Beginner - Black, PBONE1BLK

I got the P-Bone for my teenage daughter who was reluctant to be seen at school with a standard trombone. She loved the funky colours available and went for the black, also loved the fact it is so light it's no trouble to carry it round school all day. She is now playing Grade 4-5 pieces on it easily. It has a much quieter sound than the standard brass trombone (the neighbours love it and the teacher tells her to play louder). The slide was very "raspy" at first although it moves easily but this is improving the more she plays it. Perfect for reluctant teens, fashionistas and those who play a lot outside! We have heard horror stories about P-Bones cracking if dropped, but this one has survived so far!! Does need regular slide maintenance though, just like the brass instruments. Great fun, great tone and got one teenager playing again so can't be bad.

I bought a Jiggs PBone for my husband as he was thinking of getting back into playing after a 5 year break. He had sold his brass trombone and didn't want to spend a good thousand pound or two on a new one while he decided whether he really had the time. The price of the PBone is a real bonus, no it's not a brass trombone it never well be but it does play well and the bottom register in particular sounds good if a bit thin the top register is not quite so good but it is more than adequate. Currently the slide is a little sticky but the PBone website does mention this may be an issue in the first instance. From a portability point of view it is amazing and not only good for children but I am sure there will be many at outside gigs and even a few at Jazz festivals. There lightness means even the smallest child can play and also allows those with limited arm strength a brass option. Despite its issues I have to give a give star review. The PBone is the biggest leap forward in affordability of instruments that has been seen in a long time and while it will never take over from beautifully crafted brass instruments it does make the trombone a viable instrument for children, learners, those with disabilities and experienced players who don't have a lot of money to spend. A truly wonderful innovation from Jiggs/Warwick Music.

Good trombone to play. Good dynamic range and very lightweight! (Needless to say, an innovate approach to cost-friendly instruments) Would have given five stars but four days after the thirty day warantee, the plastic on the slide catch broke off. Still usable, but the slide is now prone to damage from falling. All in all, I’ve had a lot of fun with this and have managed to progress fairly well with it. If it takes a while for it to break beyond functional use, I may buy another one, however if your looking for an instrument that’s going to last, it’s probably better to spend a bit more on a metal one

My nephew absolutely loves it! The colour is great and it sounds fab!

Ive been a valve brass player for many years and had a go on trombone when I was a junior but my love for the Euphonium saw me playing Euphonium/Baritone for 20 odd years. Recently we have had a shortages of Trombone players in our band and ive been filling in the parts on Euph which is too heavy for the job so bought a PBone to see if I could handle playing trombone and I was very surprised how good they sound and don't sound like a cheap instrument. Also particularly good to learn on as playing a brass trombone takes a bit of time to build the arm muscles so with the Pbone you can play for a long time without getting a sore arm! The slide is excellent, Ive had a go on old Trombones with not perfect slides which feel like using a saw but the PBone slides effortlessly.

I bought this more out of curiosity than anything really and I am gob smacked. As a trombonist of around 30 years I thought "this is gonna be naff" but I had also seen some very interesting videos on YouTube by Jiggs Whigham and other noteaable musos. How wrong was I? Incredibly light, plays lovely looks ace and costs as much as a decent mouthpiece. The slide was slightly rough to start with, but after a good couple of hours playing (and regular wiping with a cloth), it has played in and is very smooth. Incredible!! My only niggle is the zips on the gig bag feel like they will last about 10 minutes, after so much effort going into the quality of this instrument I would have expected a little more. But for the incredible price, you are getting a wonderful trombone. Cannot recommend highly enough.

As a Trumpet player wanting to have a go on Trombone, pBone is ideal. Not too expensive and makes a decent enough sound - and it's light too. I've ditched the plastic mouthpiece and got a "proper" one. It sounds much better. Still some "wearing in" to do with the slide action. Hopefully this will improve over time.

Good value but difficult to gauge the size. Even for my reasonably tall 9 year old, it is quite a stretch, although it is implied that it is defnitely for children of all ages. However, good starting point for beginners and a fun, relatively cheap way into the instrument. Colour choice is great!

Väger lite, förvånansvärt högt ljud. Jag har aldrig spelat trombon för så ni kan ju föreställa er min frus reaktion när jag började tuta och hon satt i jobbmöte. Bra att det följer med lite gratislektioner för annars lär frugan inte bli glad :D

A questo prezzo non c'è di meglio, probabilmente anche meglio di altri strumenti in ottone basic. Lo consiglio a chi vuole avvicinarsi a questo strumento, soprattutto ai bambini, grazie alla sua facile maneggevolezza data la sua leggerezza.

Obviamente el sonido no es el mismo que el de un trombón de metal, es más "apagado" y más bajo, sin embargo suena muy bien para el precio y es muy cómodo ya que es súper ligero, eso hace que no canse si prácticas mucho tiempo, también la vara se siente mejor que un trombón de metal, desliza más fácil, ese es un punto a favor.

Pour le prix, super ! Et résistant au choc des enfants.

価格は安いのですが、しっかりした楽器です。 マウスピースを金属製変えると音が（格段に)良くなることから、見た目以上にポテンシャルは高いようです。 色も九色あるので、自分の好みの色を選べるのも利点です。 トロンボーンを始めたいけど、値段が気になる方。格安の金属製トロンボーンで大丈夫か悩んでいる方にもお勧めです。 これを１年しっかり吹き込んだ後で、自分の好きなトロンボーンを購入すれば間違いないでしょう。 軽い（約750g）・丈夫（少々ぶつけた程度では問題なし。ただし、過信は禁物！あくまでも楽器ですので扱いは丁寧に！）・鳴らしやすいと、入門用に最適です。 トロンボーンに興味を持った小さい子どもたちにもぴったりです。 間違っても、スライド部にスライドオイルはつけないでください。 返って滑りが悪くなります。 専用スプレーで水を吹きつけるのが定石。 内部スライド部のスカート部分を、ピカールで磨くとさらに滑りが良くなるとのレビューもあるので試してみるのも良いでしょう。 何より手軽なので、メンテナンスに神経質にならずに毎日練習することができます。 汚れが気になったら、何せプラスチック製。気軽に水洗いして乾燥されば大丈夫。 ケース込みでも非常に軽いです。 pBone miniと両方購入しても良いと思います（私は一緒に購入しました）。 両方持っても、通常のトロンボーンより軽いくらい。 毎日の練習が楽しいです。
