I was pleased with the sound of the instrument, although with the supplied mouthpiece it was too tight. Sounds better with a 3 or larger mpc. Harder to play than a trumpet because of motion and intonation. Fun for blues glisses in 1 to 4th positions. Overall, a fun horn for the money. The slide works fine, the case is well made and the finish is solid.

I love this instrument. Its a rare bargain for such a high quality instrument. It sounds awesome. It is awesome. The price is awesome! What more can you ask for? I use this instrument for the band that I'm in, and it adds a superior solo voice for some of our songs! I recommend this product to just about anyone.

The instrument is a work of art. I have never seen anything like this in my life.

I love my soprano trombone! It impresses my friends and it is fun to play in a trombone ensamble or jazz setting. It's very small and cute. I put a sticker that says "Livin' Large" on the case!

As many others have mentioned, I originally purchased this trombone not expecting much. Once I tried it out, however, I realized that this was a thing to be reckoned with. It has substantial range and suprisingly good tone. The free shipping was a plus, along with the nice case. For the price, this is definitely a worthwile investment for any serious musician. Tuning on the instrument is difficult, but with some practice it is not an issue. You can't bend your tone as on a tenor trombone, mostly because of the smaller mouthpiece. For the beginner soprano trombone player, I suggest purchasing a larger mouthpiece until you get used to it.
