The newest innovation in the musical instrument industry, we are happy to announce we now carry Jiggs pBone. Distributed & highly recommended by Conn-Selmer, The pBone is the world’s first plastic trombone! Designed in the UK for brass players by brass players, the pBone has become known worldwide for being fun, durable, lightweight, and very cost efficient.

 The Jiggs pBone is half the weight of traditional trombones, and is extremely durable. The many worries a parent has when they hand a child a trombone, is the severe damage that can be caused with the slightest bump, knock, or fall. The pBone is remarkably tough, and the all ABS parts are designed to take excessive wear and tear, unlike your traditional trombone. The glass fiber slide tube is immeasurably stronger than fragile brass tubing and will withstand collisions that would demolish a traditional brass trombone slide. pBone may not be indestructible but it is certainly the most durable and robust trombone ever produced! It allows beginners to learn, worry-free of damage while exploring their new instrument.

pBone Care & Maintenance

General: Join the bell and slide sections together and secure them simply with resistance. Insert the mouthpiece gently into the mouthpiece receiver. 
Before Use: Pour a small amount of lukewarm water (*NEVER HOT) into the slide section and work the slide, rinse and drain. Run lukewarm water through the bell section, rinse and drain. 
****Be very careful when using mutes as twisting the mute in the bell may damage the seam.

Tuning Slide: Remove tuning slide. Apply a generous amount of tuning slide grease to each slide over the entire surface. Insert tuning slide completely into receivers and wipe off excess grease with a soft cloth

Slide: Apply a small amount of slide cream to the stockings or apply oil to the inner slide top, allowing the oil to run down to the stockings. Spray inner slides  with water and work up and down to distribute the cream/oil.

When new, the slide may feel slow and scratchy. The slide will "run-in" with use as the brass stockings polish themselves and at the same time smooth  down the interior of the outer slides. During this "running-in" period, you will need to clean the inner slides frequently with a lint free cloth or baby wipe. You should expect to find a dark deposit both on your cloth and in the condensation from  the water key; this is normal and shows that the stockings are doing their job smoothing down the interior of the outer slide tubes. With use, over time, this process will diminish and disappear as the slide becomes quicker and quieter and smoother to run. You may find that the slide needs less tube during the "running-in" period,  If during this period, the slide slows it will almost certainly be a build up of the dark deposit, so always give the slide a good clean if it slows down. 

Finish:  To maintain your instrument's finish, never clean with hot water, chemical agents, or harsh detergents or solvents. Use ONLY lukewarm water for cleaning purposes. The colored parts can be cleaned with a soft cloth. The glass fiber outer slides may be cleaned with warm soapy water, and then lightly dressed with vegetable oil to restore the look to the surface.  Any minor damage to the colored palstic, may be mended with superglue.
