A "Fun" Trombone in the pBone Spirit, Signed by Jiggs Whigham
The pBone has established itself as a modern alternative to the traditional trombone, focusing on a synthetic construction that is both lightweight and practical. This Jiggs Whigham version embraces the brand's philosophy: offering playing sensations close to a brass trombone while prioritizing ease of use and immediate enjoyment. The Eb alto format provides a brighter and livelier tone than the tenor trombone, highly appreciated for certain section writing and more "singing" sounds.
For Whom and in Which Styles?
Thanks to its featherweight and intuitive handling, this pBone alto trombone is well suited for beginners (especially in music schools), marching band or wind orchestra musicians seeking an easy-to-carry instrument, as well as trombonists wanting to add an accessible Eb alto to their collection. It performs well in marching bands, pop music, ensemble playing, and daily practice (warm-ups, sight-reading, tuning), with a genuinely playful aspect thanks to the various colors available.
Sound and Design
The ABS construction and fiberglass slides allow for easy sound production, with a quick response that reassures from the first notes. The dual bore 12.32 - 12.7 mm promotes smooth playing, a homogeneous register, and effective projection in ensembles. The 7-inch bell helps to project the sound clearly while maintaining a familiar "trombone" feel. In terms of design, the instrument focuses on lightness and maneuverability, perfect for rehearsals, travel, and performances where one wants to play without constraints.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To get the best from the slide, a trombone slide lubricant (cream or spray) and a microfiber cloth are essentials. A trombone cleaning swab (flexible type) ideally complements regular maintenance, especially if the instrument is used in group settings.
