Just like a real one!
I was absolutely skeptical about this plastic object. I didn't think it would sound good or work well... However, when I got it this Christmas, it was a real treat. It sounded like a real trombone! The trombone was really light but even after 4-5 hours of practice that Christmas day, my wrist got sore from holding it up. This made me appreciate this instrument even more because a real trombone is much heavier and my wrist could not take the weight like it did with he Pbone.
The only think that I wished would be improved was the slide. Its just a little noisy (like lightly rubbing two Styrofoam blocks together) and stiff. I understand that this to prevent air from leaking BUT I WAS MOST RELEIVED WHEN I SAW THE CARD THEY SENT ME! The "Care Card" said in one of the bullet points that:
"Over time, your pBones's slide will break itself in. It will feel smoother as you use it more. This comes from the use of brass slide stockings inside the hand slide."
Overall, a very nice instrument that will feel even better to play with more use!
*Also, the thing is indestructable. I dropped my trombone from the table and when I picked it up horrified, the only thing that happened was that it collected some food particles and nothing more!*
