My 5th grader is starting band this year and I need to get her a trombone. any reconmendations? Not necessarily looking for a new one, or to be stuck with an expensive instrument contract if it doesn't work out.
This was a long time ago, and my parents handled the cost, so I'm not sure how useful this will be, but I got a King trombone and thought it worked great. I played through high school and eventually got a nicer one, but always used the king one for marching bandMy 5th grader is starting band this year and I need to get her a trombone. any reconmendations?

Among my several lives, I am a professional trombone player. The Yamaha YSL-354 is the perfect entry level horn. I think the important thing is to not go too cheap because a poor performing instrument will frustrate beginners.
