The playLITE hybrid trombone by Gear4music in Blue and White is a lightweight alternative to the traditional brass trombone. Featuring a ABS plastic body and composite slide this instrument only weighs 750g making it ideal for younger performers as well as professionals looking for a lightweight alternative. This plastic trombone features a closed wrap F aluminium valve for easy transposing. The playLITE trombone remains authentic featuring a traditionally shaped body that has a realistic tone with a clear projection. Included with the playLITE trombone is a plastic mouthpiece and drawstring carry bag. Colourful and Lightweight ABS Body This instrument not only plays brilliantly but also looks great! Featuring a sleek blue and white ABS body this instrument only weighs 750g. This is ideal for both performers who would otherwise struggle to hold a brass trombone for prolonged periods of time as well as advanced players who are searching for a lightweight instrument. The body of this instrument creates an authentic sound comparable to that of a normal trombone meaning it can be easily used in ensembles as well as for individual performances. Bb/F Trigger Aluminium Valve The playLITE trombone gets its hybrid title from its aluminium valve in its unique Bb/F trigger. The plastic moulded valve case has a moulded aluminium collar built in to provide a tight and precise seal meaning no air leakage and a better projection. As a result any performer can use this versatile instrument for even the most challenging of music. The hybrid design also retains the aluminium slide of a traditional brass trombone encased within the ABS plastic maintaining the natural feel of a traditional slide and also allowing it to be lubricated using conventional trombone slide lubricant. Complete Package The playLITE trombone comes as a complete package so that the performer can get playing straight away. Included is a plastic mouthpiece that is suited to all-round playing. The instrument also comes in a fabric carry bag which can be carried over both shoulders with ease.
