__**THE CLARIBONE**__
The claribone is a great new instrument. It could be a member of the brass or woodwind families, though it looks more like a brass instrument, resembling a trombone. The reason it could be in either family is because it has two mouthpieces. There is a trombone mouthpiece made of metal and a clarinet mouthpiece, which has a single reed on it. The claribone features a trombone slide and keys that look like ones on a clarinet. There are two different ways you can play the claribone. First, you hold the instrument by holding the instrument up with your left hand and placing your right hand on the slide. Let the instrument rest on your shoulder. To use the brass mouthpiece, place your lips on the mouthpiece, and vibrate/buzz your lips. To use the woodwind mouthpiece, make sure the reed is wet, and then place your mouth on the mouthpiece, with a snug fit around the mouthpiece. When you blow, allow the reed to vibrate. This might take a few tries. Don't let squeaks bother you. Place your fingers on the keys so that the holes are covered. Then, you can either move the slide in or out or lift your fingers to change notes. The instrument is made entirely out of metal, except for the wooden reed. You can get your school mascot or initials engraved onto the bell. At just $499, the claribone is a great instrument to add to your collection!
