Its the Trombone plus more for your iPhone or iPod Touch. Play it anywhere. Waiting for the bus? Work a little slow? Friend to impress? Simply itching to learn? Whip out your iBone. Practice and learn scales and songs. Even play-a-long with music from your iPod library -- accompany the lead, or take the solo spot. Dont have a clue? Play-a-long with a tune from the iBone Songbook and let roboBone show you the way.

Its easy:
1. Touch or blow to make a sound.
2. Slide your finger to change pitch.
3. Raise and lower the bell to change volume.

With iBone, you can cover the Trombones standard two and a half octave range -- slur up and down, slide in and out, and easily play way out of tune. Its the closest youll get to the real thing.

No clue about the real thing? Pick a tune from the iBone Songbook, and let roboBone show you the way as you play along with the band accompaniment. Just tap the rings at the bottom of their fall to hit the right note at the right time.

Cool

Je suis tromboniste appli bien rigolote mais peut utile seulement pour fan de trombone

géniale

ressemble à guitare hero pour jouer sur des morceaux pré enregistrés avec niveaux de difficulté variables. son de trombone plutôt bon (pour du midi !) finesse de justesse et glissendo impécable prouesse technique et sympathique

Wow!

I love this app. I am a trombone player, first off. Playing this iBone "makes sense." You have all 7 slide positions, and all partials up to high Bb. So playing it is like second nature. I did like in the video, fired up a song in iTunes, and had a blast playing along. This app actually helps me "see" patterns in the position/partials as I use different scales. Oh and it actually sounds great. I would like "in app" iTunes controls, and a volume slider to adjust the ibone volume to match my tunes. I recommend all trombone players get this. If youre not a trombonist, you may still enjoy this.

Pretty good..

Please add support for turning the iPad. It only loads in one direction which is always upside down based on my iPad case. Otherwise a very cool app.

Très cool

Je suis un tromboniste et je trouve cette application très utile quand je nai pas mon trombone. Le seul défault c quil ny a pas les notes en français.

Learning the trombone

I cant play a trombone , but now I can play some of the basics , its fun ,entertaining + just great learning thx.

使いやすくなりました

音名が表示されるようになり、操作性が格段に向上しました。さらに表示の濃淡、前面/背面表示の設定が可能です。 トロンボーンアプリとしては最強だと思います。
