Alto Trombone in Eb

Our Eb alto trombone is a professional instrument that was developed in the style of models made by Franz Kuhn and Heribert Glassl, two renowned master instrument makers, now deceased. Valueable input for production was provided by Prof. Harry Ries, who has been playing Kuhn and Glassl instruments both in the orchestra and as a solist.

A main feature of this instrument is that it perfectly merges into syphonic sound while at the same time keeping its individuality. Created in German style (Romanticism), the trombone has an easy response, giving the musician many opportunities for variations in sound.

Without any differences in price, you can choose among a bell in brass or gold brass and an outer slide in brass, gold brass or german silver. Laquered with case.

Bell in sterling silver available on request.
