Children enjoying their pBone in the classroom.

So, the little learner in your life is about to get their hands on the beginner trombone of choice: the pBone.

The lucky thing.

You might be a parent who has already bought instruments in the past. You might be a grandparent looking to give your nearest and dearest a step up in their musical education. You might even be treating yourself to a plastic trombone (because you’re worth it).

The question now is: where should you buy your pBone?

After all, there are plenty of options. Our instruments can be found online and in music shops across the UK and beyond. You can also buy the pBone direct from our website.

If you are on the hunt for where to find the best price, the best service, and more, we can help. As the music-makers who manufacture the pBone, we know all the options. So, let’s take a look at our pick of the best places to pick up a pBone. Whether you are looking for a bargain or fancy free delivery or flexible payment, we can point you in the right direction.

Which dealer should you trust?


This is an easy one to answer. All our dealers are registered with our team. So wherever you buy our product, you can buy with confidence.

Wherever you purchase a pBone - in your local music shop or online - you can have peace of mind with our two-year warranty.

Adam McCulloch

Adam is the Content Manager at pBone Music. This should mean that he’s the ideal person to write about himself, but he finds boasting in the third person a little awkward. He honed his word wizardry with a degree in English Language and Literature at the University of Leeds. He has since written copy for clients and businesses across the land, from awards to something beginning with “z”. He also spent a number of years as a musician. He has written pop songs and even jingles for kids, performed more first dances at weddings than you could shake a pBuzz at, and once played a gig for a pie company at The Etihad Stadium in Manchester. When he’s not reminiscing about those good old days, you might find Adam enjoying the football (although as an Everton fan, that can be difficult). He also loves spending time with his partner, Jen, and his family and friends, and sincerely hopes they feel the same way.
