The pBone is a trombone made of ABS plastic. The advantage of this is first and foremost that it makes the instrument cheaper to produce than traditional brass trombones. It's also a much lighter material, which makes them easier for kids to handle. Of course the sound is not as good as brass trombones, but they're well on their way and a great place to start.
