Smule “ the creators of the amazing Ocarina app “ have just launched their latest iPhone musical app, called Leaf Trombone World Stage. It ‘s the same app that was previewed to a rapturous reception at Apple ‘s iPhone OS 3.0 Preview event.
The app features a new musical instrument “ which sounds something like a real trombone, but is inspired by ‘traditional Chinese leaf instruments ‘. It also has built in even more social / community elements than Ocarina has “ with features like an ability for users to rate others ‘ performances and contribute to players ‘ rankings within the community.

Leaf Trombone World Stage is in the App Store now, priced at $0.99.
