The sustainable starter brass tool
pBuzz is a first: an entirely new instrument that gives kids their start in music. It's also carbon-neutral.
Creating instruments out of plastic might not seem sustainable, but the process required to make traditional brass instruments requires lots of energy. It also uses nasty materials like lead and nickel.
pBuzz is carbon-free and recyclable and we offset any additional carbon.
