Startone SSL-45 Bb-Tenor Trombone Reviews

Recommend

Im really impressed by the sound and quality of this trombone for such a low price. I definitely recommend to buy this trombone, especially if you are a beginner.

Excellent trombone for the price

This is a very good horn (first trombone for learn and practise everyday.).I took my first steps on this trombone.Realy got a good sound ,easy tone and just thing you don't give a lot of money for first study trombone. No doubt ,the best you can buy for your first steps in music

Very good Trombone

If I blow the mouth piece, sound comes out of the horn, which indicates that it is a good trombone. Despite it's name, it is actually completely boneless. Overall good experience. 10/10

Good bang for your buck

The quality of the instrument is very high for the price point.

Exactly what you would want for this type of beginner friendly instrument

First brass instrument

I have never tried a trombone before but I was able to play the notes clearly,the construction is solid and the slide is smooth.

Star value.

Well pleased. Good playability, slide free and easy.

Perfect instrument

I'm not an expert, I'm just a beginner. But the product is very beautiful and also the case is very good. I like a lot, I tried to play a little bit and quality is good. Perfect for a beginner. Delivery very fast and well packed.

Best price/quality

Best for school bands.

trobone

very good choice for a begginer as me. i dont know to play i just choose it for its prize but i think has a good sound (of what i manage to do) and its coming with a great hard case

excellent choice

My son used a plastic pBone. This is certainly an upgrade.

Great value for money

Value for Price

Good entry level product.

I rated it keeping in mind what i payed for it.

nothing realy to complain about.

A fine starter instrument

Its cheap its great if your just developing an interest in the instrument and want to try but if you are looking for something more serious you have to spend more!!

Nice trombone for the price

It is a good trombone for the beginner

great for parades!!

I am a professional trombone player and this trombone was the best option for me.

I have also a bass trombone that is not comfortable for parades.The Startone trombone is the best option for this occasion. Its light and good strong sound.

Also the package have a good quality case a low quality lubricant and white gloves.

The mouthpiece is not so good but you can buy extra a better one..

I absolutely reccomend this trombone for begginers!!!

Very good

Very good quick delivery, product as described

Great for beginners

My friend use this trombone just for fun. He likes it, but our friendship is going down. :)

Beast for its price

I've been learning trombone with this instrument for half a year now, and I'm still amazed with the quality for this price. The package also includes a case, slide lubricant, the large needle to clean the tubing and even small white gloves.

The case is of good quality, really holds up well and with no signs of any damage even after half of year using it.

The lubricant is good and usable, but not the best, as slide-o-mix would be better. The needle is also not as convenient as a flexible cleaning cord.

The instrument itself sounds as good as in the demo recordings, the slide is quite noisy and has a very very slight resistance, though. For this price, however, I expected the noise to be louder (it still kind of is) and resistance much harder than it is. Overall, slide works very nice. The golden finish, where the hands are holding the instrument, are already showing wear, and it makes it look older than it is.

The only real problem is the mouthpiece, which should be replaced immediately, as I've shown it to several trombonists and they said it can't be a trombone mouthpiece, maybe from another brass instrument.

All in all, very good small shank trombone for its price, very good case and a bad mouthpiece.

Incredible value for money

I am a complete trombone (and brass instrument) beginner and have only tried another trombone some 25 years ago. However, the price together with previous reviews made the choice easy. Even a pair of white cotton gloves and a bottle of Reca Super Slide was included in my delivery. As a beginner I can only subjectively judge that this trombone is not hindering my development - only my technique. The slide runs smoothly and the craftmanship is impressive from what I can judge. Highly recommended and incredible value for money.

Very economical trombone with superb quality

Just got my Startone trombone. The quality of the case is superb and the instrument itself is of surprisingly good quality. Its inner slides are made of nickel plated with chrome, which is far more superior than some cost-cutting design in which the chrome plating over brass will come off after just a few years of use. Yet to test its durability but judging from its review I am sure I will have years of fun with this wonderful instrument.

Music school

I am a brass and woodwind instrument repairer based in Athlone,Ireland.I bought these trombones for a new school project which was to provide instruments to school children at a cheap rate so they could access a musical instrument.For beginner instruments they proved to be of good build quality with sturdy cases and strong enough for kids to put together and take apart easily.I visited the school almost a year later and the trombones are still going strong with no problems and are even being passed down to the next set of kids who are wanting to learn how to play a brass instrument!I would recommend these trombones to any beginner.
