Jean Paul USA Trombone (TB-400),yellow

This is the 4th trombone that I have used, starting with the first one in college decades ago. Surprisingly, of the four, I get the best tone on this one. It is fairly light weight (I presume the metal is a little bit thinner than the others), which certainly makes it more comfortable to hold and to carry around and it may also contribute to its better sound. My wife, who runs an instrument repair business, says the metal seems to be about the same thickness as student trombones she has worked on.The slide works very well. I use slide cream and water sprays, and that provides for a very smooth operation.The case is decent. Like the trombone, it is light weight, which means it's very easy to lift and lug. But it also means it is likely lower on the durable side, so it is prudent to be more cautious when putting it in the car to avoid heavy bangs against other equipment.The mouth piece is not stamped with a size rating, so I don't have a way to compare it to other brands. But it is very comfortable and provides for a good pitch range. And I assume it contributes to the instrument overall having an excellent tone for me.I really don't see any downsides to this trombone. Some people might not like the slightly thinner metal, which means it likely will dent a little easier. So if you are someone who tends not to be particularly careful when getting it into or out of the case, or who occasionally bumps the horn against a metal music stand, this might not be the horn for you. But if you tend to be more cautious and naturally protect your instrument any way, then this one is an outstanding value.I highly recommend it.

It was great for my son starting out in band. Good quality sound. Good price in case he doesn’t continue to play the instrument.

Sounds great ! Works very well! I would recommend this trombone for 1st time beginners.

I got this for my son after we encouraged him to try out for solo/ensemble. He practiced his piece for weeks and as a reward I surprised him with this trombone right before his performance. He ended up getting superior (highest you can get). Coming from playing an Olds trombone in high school this one is pretty good for the price. I wouldn't say that it is the best that I have heard but it is good enough for a student trombone.For what you get you can't go wrong.

good quality i bought their alto tennor and curved saprano saxes and they all work amazing

My grandson was renting a trombone from his school so I surprised him with his own trombone and he loves it.

Grandson is enjoying it and loves having his very own trombone.

I don’t know if this was only our trombone, that we received or all of them, but the slide is not totally aligned correctly and doesn’t slide by itself without a bit of grinding push. ;-(. The trombone looks great. Sounds great. But slide is not done well.

This was a gift, and the instrument sounds spectacular

La calidad es suficiente para un principiante pero creo que por el precio, pude encontrar algo mejor, aún así, mal no está, cómo digo, funcional.

Good.

This a great instrument. My son loves it and the carrying case.

Super
