It's 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. Don't have a clue? Play-a-long with a tune from the iBone Songbook and let roboBone show you the way.
It's 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 Trombone's standard two and a half octave range -- slur up and down, slide in and out, and easily play way out of tune. It's the closest you'll 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.
iBone comes free with seven songs:
- 2001: Also Sprach Zarathustra with orchestra
- Aura Lee with piano
- Air (on a G string) with guitar
- Greensleeves with accordian
- Guantanmera with bass, bongos, guitar and drums
- Ride of the Valkyries with orchestra
- Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with piano
New in iBone 1.3, additional songs can be purchased and downloaded. Some of these include:
- Sloop John B with Rhythm
- Man of Constant Sorrow with Banjo
- Carol of the Bells with Brass
- First Noel with Ochestra
- O Silent Night with Strings
- O Little Town of Bethlehem with Organ
and more! With more to come.
Whether you play Trombone and need something more portable, or you've never touched one but want to learn, iBone.

2011-12-16This is a great tool for beginners, as well as others who want to learn the trombone and how it works. I like how it can do the gliss as well as other slurs. I highly reccommend this app!
2011-05-08I am a professional trombonist and this app is the best tool for learning alternate slide positions I have ever seen. I have a whole new perspective of how the horn is laid out now
2011-04-22Fun app! I do think it should have more songs and more trombones so that u can play lower and also like I saw in another review it should have peddle tones. Take it from a trombone player
2011-04-10Hey awesome but can you make it sound more like a real trombone? And get some low notes like pedal Bb? Thanks
2011-04-02Its a very nice app. I use it in my jazz band practices to help myself and younger ones with it. Also helps find alternate positions!
2011-03-09This app is fun and cool I think you should make baritone,sax,and clarinet and also how do you empty the spit valve
2011-02-17You do not have to play an instrument to play this game.easy to learn how to play and easy to play!
