Julie is enthusiastic about the benefits to children of all abilities in learning and performing music and in 2017 she became Education Consultant for WMG in Australia where she successfully launched the pBuzz program. Julie secured strategic agreements with national and local distribution partners for pInstruments including School Bands Australia and Taylormade Music. Buyers say they were pleasantly surprised by this instrument and even thought it was perfect for their kids. Some buyers, however, didn’t like the slide and even said the quality was mediocre. A smaller trombone and even lighter than the pBone, the pBone mini is available in red and blue and it’s perfect for little hands. Tocaviva makes the Tromba plastic trombones. Their product offerings include trumpets, cornets, trombones and flugelhorns. We don’t see a lot of brands out there making plastic trombones, but that could be because it’s a relatively new development, and maybe because trombones aren't as popular as the trumpet. I also don’t imagine the demand is super high.
As an undergraduate Chris studied Jazz at Leeds College of Music and then became a member of the Advanced Studies, post-graduate performers course at the Royal Academy of Music and Principal Bass Trombone with the European Community Youth Orchestra under Claudio Abbado. He then spent 25 years as a busy freelance performer based in both London and the North of England working with a wide variety of ensembles and artists, including being a member of Grimethorpe Colliery Band, The British Philharmonic Orchestra, Dame Shirley Bassey’s Orchestra and the Creative Jazz Orchestra.Just because something is made of sturdy material doesn’t mean you should throw it around or subject it to undue abuse. Fantastic value for money, the pBone mini costs around a third of the price of beginner brass trombones. It comes with everything you needs to play straight away. pTrumpet Tromba instruments have an ABS plastic shell with metallic valves and lead pipe. They offer lightweight, colorful, and customizable plastic instruments. COOLWIND Plastic trombones can be a lot of fun, and honestly, I think that’s the main reason they even exist. One of the reasons you might be looking to buy a plastic trombone in the first place is because they are lightweight, compact and portable. This can even make the instrument easier to play than its brass counterparts.
Another advantage the pBone has over a brass trombone is that it is extremely lightweight - only 800g, allowing younger children who usually wouldn't be able to support the weight of the instrument a chance to play. This also makes it easier to transport and ideal for taking places you might not want to take a traditional brass instrument, whether you’re on your bike, on the bus or on the beach. The pBone’s design also makes it easy to find a comfortable way to hold the instrument no matter what size and shape your hands are. Loud, shiny and incredibly versatile (you can find them in a symphony orchestra as well as in a jazz band), trumpets, cornets and trombones are fascinating musical instruments that can also be heavy, costly – and easily damaged.
Naturally, you'll want to get the absolute basics down first. That's why Liam Kirkman, president of the British Trombone Society and Trombonist for Lady Gaga, Radiohead and Michael Bublé, has provided a handy two-minute video explaining how to hold your pBone and make that all-important first sound.
The pInstruments PBONE2R Jiggs mini plastic trombone is available in Blue and Red, and is clearly intended for children. The lightweight pInstruments pBone plastic trombone comes with a standard .500 bore, ergonomic grip, pBone’s unique water key design, glass-fibre lookalike slide, matching pBone 6.5AL and 11C small shank mouthpieces, fabric carry case, six-month free membership to the International Trombone Association and free online lessons.Most if not all trombones featured here are made of ABS plastic, which is affordable, resistant to strong impacts and even corrosive chemicals. In the grand scheme of things, it’s also relatively harmless as there are no toxic carcinogens contained within. The instrument is made of ABS plastic, is pitched to Bb and is also available in Orange and Purple. Vincent Bach is probably the most known and highly regarded brand on the above list. They offer a wide range of brass instruments and mouthpieces. He was elected as a board director for the UK music industry trade body, the Music Industries Association, in 2019 becoming its chair in 2020 and is frequently interviewed or invited to present guest lectures on cultural entrepreneurship, music education and the future of the music industry.
