[Trombone-l] Beginner Trombones

[Jay Sheridan]

Thank you to all the responses so far.

My concern with the pBone is how other students will treat him (with a
plastic instrument).

I don't want a rent to own program as it becomes very expensive, and if he
does change his mind, I will just keep it for myself.

Does anyone have experience with Allora? I know that some brands had moved
up in quality over the past several years, but don't want a Chinese made
horn either.

Thanks! Please keep opinions coming!

Jay
