First Trombones
Ideally, a student's first trombone should offer a balance of tone, craftsmanship, and superior design and materials. Our selection offers you a selection of the best features available today.

Many first trombones are made with a 2-piece bell (where the instrument's bell is soldered onto the body). This dampens vibrations and affects sound and projection. You can also choose a trombone with a "seamless" bell, where the two pieces are joined without solder and creates a seamless one-piece bell for continuous, even vibrations in all registers.

The slide on a first trombone should move without any resistance whatsoever. Tolerances, manufacturing techniques, and craftsmanship of the inner and outer slides will determine how effortlessly it moves, providing accurate and easy placement.

These trombones feature better quality in materials and craftsmanship and more handwork than first trombones for better tone and response. Other options such as red brass bells provide increased tonal coloration, while the addition of an F attachment (a rotor-type valve triggered with the thumb) increases the note range of the instrument.

Maintenance
Maintenance and care are the most important factors in maintaining the playability and longevity of your instrument.

Slides need regular lubrication to keep them moving quickly and smoothly. Trombone pipes and mouthpieces need to be washed out regularly with brushes or snakes. This will keep grit and dirt from lodging inside the instrument and damaging the slide casing.
