“THE classic commercial/professional trombone”

written by on 20/04/2012

What is there to say? This model has power, beauty of sound, and a combination of both mellow and bright capability that make it the classic that everyone in the business knows so well.

It only has one drawback: no F attachment for lower tones, and thus it has limitations for those who must play everything, including all symphonic literature parts.

I have used mine in symphony work in first chair, and for high trombone work it excels. For second trombone and lower work (and where they insist on a fuller sound, you will need a bigger horn.

But for high trombone classical work, and all rock, jazz, pop, commercial. marching band, stage band, etc., this is as good as it gets, subject of course to your own taste.

I have had mine for almost forty years, and I am playing it in the pit tonight.... it still thrills. And it is still my only trombone.
