pBone pBuzz in Red
Bright, bold, and buzzing with potential—the pBuzz in red is the ultimate first step into the world of brass. Designed specifically with young learners in mind, this clever little instrument combines play with purpose. Whether you're a music teacher looking for a classroom-friendly tool or a parent keen to spark a musical journey, the pBuzz is where it all begins.
It’s pitched in concert B♭ and uses a colour-coded slide system to help players visually learn different notes. Think of it as the musical equivalent of stabilisers on a bike—perfect for guiding beginners through the fundamentals of pitch, breath control, and embouchure, without the weight or complexity of a traditional brass instrument.
It’s incredibly lightweight, virtually indestructible, and let’s face it, it looks deadly too—especially in that unapologetically vibrant red. You’ll find them in schools across Ireland, helping little legends get to grips with brass basics before moving on to trombones or trumpets. And yes, it absolutely makes a proper buzzing noise when played right!
At Musicmaker, we love anything that helps bring music into young people’s lives, and the pBuzz hits the sweet spot—fun, affordable, and genuinely educational.
From the classroom to the garden shed jam session, the pBuzz in Red is all about inspiring the next generation of brass players with confidence, colour, and a good dose of fun.
