In Jonesboro, All Star Music and Back Beat Music are local places to see trombones, while Trumann Music Center is another nearby option. Ask to hold a candidate and move the slide through a few positions before settling on a fit. After choosing, keep the slide clean and moving freely, and have the instrument checked when it no longer plays or responds as it should.
