Steve's review:
Not many will confuse this new JP trombone with some of our top offerings, but this is a terrific instrument for the money. This would be a fine instrument for a beginning or intermediate player on a budget. The sound is nice, the projection is very good, the slotting is secure, it's very pleasant to play. The JP does have some traits reminiscent of the classic Conn 6H trombone, which we like; liveliness being one. The hand slide action is a little noisy, and likely always will make a little noise, but with some cleaning and Trombotine, the action is very decent. Spare parts are easy to find in the USA, as they are now stocked at Allied Supply in Wisconsin. The case, in red and blue with backpack straps, is light and easy to carry.
