EASTROCK Bb Tenor Slide Trombone Brass Musical Instrument with Hard Case,Mouthpiece,Gloves,Cleaning Cloth for Beginners Standard Bell(7.87"/200 mm),Red

I bought this for my 10 year old as a starting point for the band. It is surprisingly a really good instrument! He hasn’t been able to destroy it and he isn’t very good with keeping it in the case. AND it has survived several drops and is STILL somehow in tact so I am very happy with this purchase.

I got the red one. I love the horn. I've owned many trombones, 45 at one point. My favorite is an Urbie Green Martin. I've owned 2B's and many other small bore tenors. This horn is not bad at all! The partials line up. The tuning is very good. The slide was smooth out of the box. The finish was flawless. The color is beautiful! Everything functions perfectly. Maybe I got lucky. I don't know if they are all this good. I may order a blue one. The price is insanely low! I think it is way better than a plastic horn, of which I have many. It weighs about what a Yamaha 354 or King 606 student horn weighs. With mouthpiece, those student horns weigh an average of 3.40 lbs. This one weighs 3.48 lbs, so very comparable. I don't know about how long it will last. But it's great for now. By the way, the bell is exactly 7.75" which is in my opinion, perfect for a small tenor. My big complaint is the glue that was used inside the case. It was the worst mess I've ever seen. It took me 3 hours to scrape out all the glue, and basically rebuild the inside of the case. It is cheap, with cloth-covered styrofoam but it fits the horn nicely and is not bad. Most decent cases cost as much as this horn and case together, so you can't get too upset about the case. The outside should have bumpers on the bell end to stand the case up. I may put my own on it. It looks fine now, and I'll see how it holds up. Come on Eastrock, use some better glue next time! Still a great deal though, and I may buy a blue horn next!

I am mostly pleased with this product, but the horn end appears to have a mild dent that makes it look out of round. This could have happened during shipping, but it is not THAT bad. The RED color is beautiful.As for the performance, it is an entry level trombone made for beginners. This was the cost effective way to find out if my child will stick with it or have it collect dust in the corner.

We decided to replace our teen son’s old hand me down trombone with this one. It is not meant to be used professionally, and for us that is a plus because we have an angst-y teenager who is not careful with his instrument, so I am not ready to invest thousands on an instrument. If he decides in high school that he wants to pursue music, then I will buy him a Bach or Jupiter or Yamaha. For now this is a good looking instrument that has a nice slide and sound for a great price. The hard shell case is very nice with both soft and rigid foam on the inside covered with fake fur. Came with white cotton gloves and a small container of slide lube.

After one failed attempt at this company sending the red trombone, we settled on ordering a black one and it is beautiful! No dents or scratches. The case is really sturdy and soft on the inside while being a hardcase. It comes with cleaning supplies including the lubricant for the slide which is already sliding well without it. It sounds great and my son who is 9 loves it!!! 5 stars for me!

Got great reviews from my son and daughters teachers one is in high school the other is in elementary school teachers were amazed how great it sounded kids were surprised the trombone was silver new great quality,value for the money always buy instead of renting an instrument.It came with a case,quality material.Performance wise i would recommend to any parent to spend the money on this trombone.I am a father of four and i will always give my honest review to all parents out thereI don't review much but when i do its honest and true.

Zero customer service. Zero. Try to find a phone number or email for the company.I purchased the red student trombone for my daughter and it looked amazing. She was so happy. She brought it to school and when her teacher helped her with it, he noticed an awful smoke/burnt smell and taste to the air moving through it. It will make you dizzy. For a company this large with supposedly having all of these inspections in place, I find it hard to believe this can happen.I wanted to know if it was harmful. I wanted to know if it was normal and would go away over time and likely just a result of the red finish in the piece. Honestly, I wanted any information. Instead, I got nothing.These instruments look amazing, but beware and do not buy from this company.

OK: looks cool, especially with a gold mouthpiece. Sounds pretty good for the money. But man oh man, the slide is really pretty stiff. I've swabbed it out 3 times so far and lubed it back up, but it still accumulates black junk right at the stocking. I'm contemplating sending it back, but I'm willing to try a few more times. But an ordinary kid would probably be discouraged and want to quit right away.UPDATE: I upgraded to 3 stars after working with the slide. After using a slide brush 3 times, I started using slide cream, then working with it (i.e., play some VanderCook or other exercise), then completely wiping the slide down to remove "black gunk" from the stocking. After doing that several more times, I stopped using the cream (after diminishing returns on the buildup), and I switched to silicone droplets and water spray. Now the slide is working pretty well, although maybe just a little noisy. I expect that with just a little more work, it will be close to perfect.But I can't go above 3 because it took so much work. I can't recommend it for a beginner, unless you're willing to get the slide worked on before the beginner tries it.OBTW, I forgot to mention that the case is really nice. And it comes with a swab for cleaning the inside of the slide.
