Smule releases “Leaf Trombone Lite & Free”

Today, Smule releases Leaf Trombone Lite & Free, a simplified version of Leaf Trombone World Stage that gives users the ability to play the instrument and experience the game’s features before purchasing the full version. Available now for the iPhone and iPod touch, this new version of the massively multi-player musical game enables users to try the Leaf Trombone, learn a new song, and observe the happenings on the World Stage.

Leaf Trombone Lite & Free can be found at Apple’s AppStore™ at http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=314456356&mt=8

Following up on the hugely popular Ocarina, Smule takes the “iPhone-as-instrument” concept to a whole new level with the Leaf Trombone, one of the broadest, deepest games now available on the iPhone platform. Using Leaf Trombone World Stage, users can learn an instrument, perform it for people around the world, judge their fellow players, and compose and publish their own work. This, new, free edition is designed for users who are interested in getting to know the Leaf Trombone before purchasing the product.

Leaf Trombone Lite & Free features include:

FREE PLAY: Play the leaf trombone, either by blowing air into your microphone or just sliding the leaf (our Touch mode).

PLAY GAME: Test out the game by practicing on the default track (that’s right, only one default track because this is the free version). Just follow the floating leaves on the screen.

OBSERVE: Witness judging of actual performances by a live panel of judges by using the observe feature. If a Leaf Trombonist has Tweeted a performance update, Twitter followers can download the app and search on the performance ID to see how their friend did.

Here is the Leaf Trombone in action:
