For those of you who bought a pBone--how is it?

I am most curious what happens to the pBone after 5 or so years of sunlight, heat and cold. Many plastics get brittle, and I wonder how this creation will hold up. I doubt they will last any longer innthe hands of careless students than their current metal instruments. I predict they will last a good deal shorter than a brass instrument in the hands of a careful individual.

Speculation & 2c

I was hoping to get a set of three in red, white, and blue to use on Stars & Stripes forever. Has anyone heard whether they plan to make one in white eventually?

I bought one, and for what it is i think it is a lot of fun. It is after all a $150 plastic trombone, so what would you expect? it actually does not play all that badly. Would i use it on a band or symphony or quintet gig? No. But, I will use it on my blues band or rock band gigs where I play into a mic. it will be great for that.

The one thing i do not like is the sound of the slide. While it moves easily enough, it makes an annoying shshing sound.

What have people been using to lube the slide? I have not put anything on mine yet.

I've been using Rapid Comfort on the Slide.

The slide breaks in pretty quickly. Swab/wash it out frequently at the beginning and the swishing diminished fast!! The Trombone-L has been discussing the care and feeding of these since they came out, and that's the univeral finding.

I think it would be fun to know the sales statistics. I am guessing that red outsells all other colors, with blue a close second.
