There are many ‘beginner’ trombones on the market, and this results in the proverbial ‘minefield’ of how to choose one. Well fret no more (definitely no frets!), I’m here to help you!
Montreux Bb Trombone
- When I first encountered the premium quality starter Montreux Trombone, I was literally ‘blown away’ at how good it is and how affordable it is for beginner trombones.
- A bright tone with a superb projection produced by its yellow brass construction, a great, smooth slide making for excellent articulation, plus all kept safe in in high quality case. Perfect!
- Many student instruments have a limited life-span when it comes of their capability. However, the Montreux Trombone is more than capable of achieving the highest results of performance.
- I recently met a student who achieved Grade 8 on one! I can get a clean ‘super F’ on one! You should simply ‘get one’!
Yamaha Bb Tenor Trombone
- The Yamaha YSL354 Bb Tenor Trombone features many of the qualities of their top professional models yet is available at a surprisingly affordable price.
- The response is quick, the intonation accurate, and the sound both rich and full. A statement that I can verify from my own personal experience using this model in wind bands, brass bands and big bands.
- The bell section is made from yellow brass, giving a tone that is both warm and sweet, yet can be bright enough in the higher register to pierce through the music without over-blowing.
- Yamaha never cut corners when it comes to the finishing of their instruments, and the quality lacquer and one-piece bell construction of the YSL354 is no exception.
