The Jiggs Whigham pBone brings a fun and intriguing twist to the traditional trombone. With its plastic construction, this lightweight instrument sounds remarkably like typical brass trombones. The pBone features a .500-inch bore design with an ergonomic grip for comfort and an overall weight of only 1.8 pounds. The pBone features a fiberglass slide with brass slide stockings on the inner handslide to keep the slide moving freely. The handslide with feel smoother the more you play the instrument, and you can even play the instrument without the need for slide lubrication. The Jiggs pBone includes a plastic mouthpiece and carrying bag and is available in various colors.

![]() Amazing!,

This review is from: pBone Jiggs Plastic Trombone – Blue (Electronics)
I saw a green pBone in a video made by a really good guitar player I know. It was his first time playing a brass instrument of any kind, so he sounded horrid. But on finding videos of good players, it became apparent that this is a real horn, not a toy. I ordered one right away, and thanks to my Amazon Prime membership, got it very quickly. I’ve been playing trombone since fifth grade, and still have the King 3B I bought in tenth grade in 1972 for 0 (same horn, with F attachment, sells today for over ,300). The pBone doesn’t sound as nice as that horn, but it’s mighty good, and only 0. I replaced the 3B on my trombone stand next to my desk with the pBone. Think I’ll play some right now.
Oh, and the other reviewer is right. It’s amazingly light. And it comes with a cheap case that works well, with handles and a shoulder strap, so I can sling it over my back on my scooter. 0

My son is enjoying his new instrument, he is just beginning to learn to play.
This instrument is nice because you don’t need to do much to maintain it, other than wipe the slide dry after each use. Several experienced players have used it and commented that it sounds much better than expected. It doesn’t have quite the same amount of resonance as a brass, but then again it didn’t cost 00 either. This was about the same price as renting an instrument from the school for a year. Also if he loses this we don’t owe the school 00. 0

I bought this horn mostly out of curiosity and was surprised by how good it actually sounds. The first thing I noticed was the weight. It’s extremely light. In fact it feels like somethings missing when you pick it up in the case. Even the mouthpiece is plastic. After tooting a few notes on it, I had to laugh at how much it sounds like a metal trombone! I’ll probably end up giving this to a young trombone player to use in school, but it could also be used as a practice horn because of its durability.
