Startone SSL-45 Bb-Tenor Trombone 5-stars Reviews

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.

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.

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.
