DiginexGold Lacquer Finish Bb Mini Trombone with Case and Mouthpiece

I'm primarily a trombone/baritone/euphonium player. Once you adjust to the tighter intonation tolerances, this awesome little horn blows -the- -hael- out of a trumpet! I really dig the Kanstul Coliseum trumpet because it's wide open (.470 bore/open throat--peels paint off the walls, as the cool brass kids say), but these soprano trombones blow even that thing away.The slide comes kinda scratchy, but polishing the inside of the outer toobs takes care of it, and the result is sweet! Use toothpaste--absolutely do NOT use silver polish, or some such. I don't thoroughly rinse out the toothpaste after several rounds of rodding, so it stays a bit scratchy for a bit, but that finishes the polish job pretty quickly just with use, and it gets cleaned out "naturally" in short time.Unlike the Jupiter attempt, the Moz soprano retains the tenor trombone reference points, again with some adjustments (as always). Gotta trust your ears over the way the landmarks lay out on a tenor. I think maybe the Moz kids actually consulted a genyouwine trombonist, and Jupiter maybe went with a tumpeter who recognized its power and feared the slide! ... or something like that. Yup.I got two of these--a silver one in late '22, and my lacquered one arrived today (19 APR 25). Both are excellent, and the sections/mpcs are perfectly uniform/interchangeable. I was concerned I may have just gotten lucky on the first one, but this suggests good quality control/consistency. Granted not all that strongly--it's one person's experience with two samples--but it's not nothing. Odds are I didn't just get lucky twice with the exact same quirk (i.e. the need to polish the inside of the outer slide toobs).Based upon my experience, with an hour or so of easy labor on the inside of the outer slide tubes (I use a drill gun), these are an exceptional deal for a very functional, super ballsy soprano trombone.

What a fantastic addition to our Trombone collection. This is a soprano Trombone and plays in the same octave as a B-flat trumpet. The horn has good tone, seems to be built sturdy, and is fun to play! It uses a trumpet mouthpiece so that is something to get used to for a low brass player.

This trombone is fantastic! My son loves playing trombone and was quick to adapt to the key change from standard trombone. The sound quality is great. It is small and light weight. Perfect!

Like others have said, this seems like a fun gift or something to play on special occasions, etc., not a 'serious' instrument I guess. This was indeed a gift for our teenage trombone player and he's gotten a kick out of it. It sounds more like a trumpet and has a trumpet sized mouthpiece. He said it's hard to play well and in the beginning was often inadvertently removing the slide by extending it too far but he's gotten the hang of it, has found some music to play on it and enjoys fooling around with it.

Sounds decent and its a great addition if you have some sort of collection going but its obviously not a high quality instrument. For the price the slide could have been a little better. By the this isn’t a toy for your little son and it isn’t a professional instrument. Keep that in mind if you are deciding on whether or whether not to buy this. Over all its very fun to play but don’t be expecting to have much to play in the first place because nobody writes music for soprano trombone.

Perfect - exactly as described! It plays beautifully, had to get a different shank mouthpiece than came with it but awesome otherwise!

While I have not purchased this, anything marketed as a “mini trombone” rather than the proper name a soprano trombone should not be trusted. It may work as a cheap toy but this should not be expected to function like a quality instrument. The name and the price give that away. Buy instruments from trusted music stores that actually use the correct names.

Plays well for a reasonable price. It is a great novelty item - a must have in any trombone collection!
