My son has been a musician of the Trombone since the 8th grade. Although this is not the same type of trombone that he uses in jazz and marching band it allows him to reach higher notes than the standard Trombone. He loves the instrument.

This is an economic alternative to a higher quality instrument that is also several times more expensive than this one. I bought it for my younger daughter to play at junior high band. The instrument did the job, but when you compare it with the more expensive ones you or your kid will notice the difference. At least in my experience the instrument will required continuous lubrication with quality products. So if you and/or your kid are not sure if playing an instrument is something your are going to do for the long haul (say continue to play in high school) this instrument will help to test the waters. We ended up upgrading after a little more than a year, who knew my daughter actually turned out being a good musician. I hope this would help someone to make a decision in the future when looking for an economic instrument. As for the tuner it stopped working after several months of use (not very well made).Read full review

It was delivered 2 days ago and my son loves it. He is a beginning trombone player and I wasn't ready to spend $35.00/month for a rental. I originally was looking for a used trombone, but saw some dents/scratches, etc and decided to give this a try. If we get 4 months out of it we're ahead, and two years or more is even better. I saw some of the plastic ones and had to promise that I wouldn't buy him that in my search for something inexpensive. This fit the bill - metal, new, shinny, good sound (for a beginner...) and inexpensive for all that you get. Still in the honeymoon with it, but will update if thing go awry. Very pleased right now and got major points with both him and my wife.

I've owned five Chinese trombones and this is one of the best. Unfortunately, it has a flaw that you wouldn't notice. All modern trombones have something called a "leadpipe." It's a brass tube that the mouthpiece slips into, which consists of a mouthpiece receiver, a choke point or "venturi," and a gradually expanding taper--all hidden inside of the upper slide tube. Leadpipes give feedback and useful resistance, and only the best players can work without one. This trombone might as well not have a leadpipe. I pulled the one installed in it--a task which requires a torch, specialized tools, and a lot of expertise. Instead of the .350 venturi I'd expect to find on a student horn, it had a .425 bore which extended the entire length of the leadpipe down to the last 1/4" where it expanded rapidly to .460. Most pros playing .500 bore horns would consider .415 or so to be very large, and expect a gradual taper up to .460. The way this one is set up, it's only suitable for a player with very well developed chops and very odd tastes. it's a bazooka!! For a student, this horn is not going to play in tune, it's going to be weak on attacks, and the tone will be poor. I'm a tech, so I can replace leadpipes. If you were to have this done, parts and labor would be around $150. That's just not a good deal.Read full review

I was skeptical because the price was so low, but this has turned out to be perfect for our 4th grader just starting out. Buying from Mendini was cheaper than renting one for the year through the school!
