pBone Plastic Trombone, Black - Ex Demo

Full Description

Over the past two years a young design graduate has been working on turning his dream into a reality and pBone is the exciting result. The pBone is the world's first plastic trombone!

The plastic material not only adds a pleasing aesthetic element with a choice of orange, black, white, red, green, blue purple or yellow finishes catching people's eyes but it is also at least 30 lighter than a traditional trombone making it perfect for younger players or those who need to transport their instrument easily. It is also very durable with the glass fibre slide and bell holding up to rigorous testing.

The pBone's grip is designed for ease - the standard trombone can be a bit of a stretch for smaller hands. pBone allows you to hold the instrument in 3 different ways so you can choose the way which is easiest for you. The lightweight materials means that having the weight on just one hand is no longer a challenge.

Pbone is a distinctive, fun and affordable alternative to traditional trombones that plays and sounds very much like a traditional trombone. Perfect for special events, younger players, ensembles, shows or professional musicians looking for a fun and lightweight second instrument.

Testimonials

"I have used pBones as an integral part of my unique BRASSED UP! shows since 2010. In both the education shows for children and the adult shows the pBones have proved to be extremely durable having survived 1000s of miles in a van plus 100s of performances. Their appeal works for both experienced trombonists and for people who have never held a trombone before. The attractive colours may draw people in, but it is the fact that they function so well as musical instruments that is really remarkable." James Stretton - Multi Brass Instrumentalist

"I have found the Pbone to be an inspirational trigger to learning. It is almost impossible for a musician, or prospective musician, to dismiss the urge to pick one up and have a 'toot'. Combine this desirability to it's obvious robust characteristics and the Pbone makes a strong case for securing it's role as the ideal tool for whole class tuition." Andy Culshaw - Sandwell Music & Arts Service
