How does this sound with lower brass(Trombone, Euphonium, etc.)?

it sounds great I have used the 58 for many years and it is the one for me. I think you will really enjoy singing with it

No a moderate volume would work just fine. But if you want the water to really move like crazy I suggest some bass :) The volume isn't a big issue, it's mostly what you play. Lyrics will kick it off too.

Yes, its very good at lower volume. My wife doesn't like very loud music, so that's I have it most of the time. We also have a very small house.

It is OK for a small venue. Great to even out the sound at low levels. I like mine but use it for its intended purpose. It is not a chest pounding sub. Price is great, heavy, added wheels.

Sorry for the late response. Just tried it with a bass and bass amp. It's functional, there was some ground buzz when I turned the level up. Probably because of my setup. I don't know if you'll get that Metallica sound, but the pedal definitely works.

Mine was almost perfect. The intonation was off by a pinch on the third string. It sounded good before the adjustment, and excellent after.

Yes, very good sound with guitar or bass. Have used it at gigs many times playing just guitar.

I've found it to be quiet. It's not noisless but the sound is more of a smooth hum than anything halting or harsh. The actual volume of the sound is pretty low.

I would say, "Yes." The Pbone can be played by a person of almost any age. It is an light, inexpensive alternative for anyone interested in learning to play a trombone.

I have tried it with a P-bass. The cleanest sound was distorted. No bass type bottom end. Turning up the gain made a grainy hi-mid distortion. Not really usable for anything I would play or practice with. You can hear your notes so it might be of use to some players.

It sounds pretty good. It's not a big, boomin' gong, but for the price, it's not bad, either. It doesn't sound like a hub cap or anything. And it looks good, adds to our decor, and is a good conversation starter. Or dinner "bell." Don't think I can attach an MP3, so I hope that helps.

Monteee - I have heard these in a real setting and you are right, my friend has the Quintet and they do indeed sound very nice with his Yamaha RV463BL.

Not sure, but I would say probably not as well as it would with a standard. In the standard the brass is hugging, and therefore deadening all across, and therefore all the strings evenly. With a compensated it would only touch the outermost presented parts of the bridge, dampening those strings in particular in a strong way, leaving the inner most sections probably free to vibrate more, so those strings might be louder. Though they might all be somewhat muted, but I think the effect would be unevenly distributed. Since you would want the volume of all strings to be equally damped (like it would usually work) I don't think this will work for you. Even if you got all rocket scientist on it and bent it to conform to the irregularities of the bridge, you'd then have a problem of not being able to slide that puppy ion and off, which is the great feature. I think you might need to get a couple violin type mutes that slip on vertically. One of the nice things about this mute is it really give a good tone, whereas violin mutes leave something to be desired. But if its a choice between practicing,.... and unhappy spouse, waking kids or bitchy neighbors...ya gotta do what ya gotta do...

Yes, a decent one. I am very satisfied with the response. Make sure to use the right bud size to direct the sound into your ear canal for a fuller sound field.

It is not a top of the line bass but it doesn't sound bad. I plug it into a peavy 800 watt amp and it sounds good Really great for beginners and intermediate players.

It's actually harder. The instrument is played by touching silver-like studs, which are not pushable buttons. So the feel isn't anywhere near the real thing. Honestly I wish I'd bought the more expensive model. I mean this works fine but, it certainly wasn't what I expected. If you're used to playing regular brass I wouldn't recommend this.

It sounds fine for practice, learning, and general playing. I restrung mine with better strings and it made a big difference. After a year and a half I still say for the money you can't go wrong.
