An Ultra-modern, Versatile Trombone
The pBone is a revolutionary plastic trombone that plays like the real deal for just a fraction of the price. Its lightweight design is ideal for younger players and those who find it difficult to hold a heavier metal trombone. Still, that’s just one of its many perks; professionals enjoy it because of its simplicity and impressive sound. The pBone — like most traditional trombones — is pitched in Bb, retains a standard .500-inch bore, and boasts a beautiful 8-inch bell that helps to facilitate a full-bodied, authoritative tone. This durable trombone weighs just under two pounds and practically refuses to dent, making it a low-risk investment for professionals, beginners, and even those learning to play for their own enjoyment.

The trombone, reimagined
The pBone is brilliantly crafted to produce a rich sound that blends seamlessly with true brass instruments. Its standard 0.500-inch bore design provides a sense of familiarity for experienced brass musicians and offers new players a satisfying experience they’ll keep coming back for. Included with the pBone is a casual fabric carrying bag and a versatile 11C small shank mouthpiece, although players can choose to use their favorite metal mouthpiece for a more personalized sound.
Rugged design resists wear and tear
Traditional trombones are expensive, not to mention fragile. Just one slipup can dent a brass slide, rendering it useless until repaired. On the other hand, the pBone offers an authentic brass experience without the vulnerability of real brass. Because its ABS plastic material and reinforced inner slide can withstand the cold, heat, rain, and even snow, it’s a great instrument for students in marching bands. Its slide is sturdy, quiet, and doesn’t dent. What’s more, the pBone only gets better with age — its slide moves more smoothly over time and locks for safe storage in between uses.
Get to know pInstruments
Thanks to pInstruments, playing a brass instrument is more accessible than ever. Every pInstrument is remarkably affordable, long lasting, and made from incredibly high-performing ABS plastic, a hard-wearing plastic that effectively mimics the sound of traditional brass instruments. They offer three instruments for true beginners — pBugle, pBone Mini, and pBuzz — as well as more advanced horns like the pCornet, the pTrumpet, and the pBone. Because of their practicality, pInstruments have grown increasingly popular among music educators and young musicians. Still, musicians at Sweetwater find that they are equally appropriate and fun to play for professionals, too.
