The Horn Section offers trombones from some of the worlds finest manufacturers. Among them are Bach, Conn, King, Holton, Getzen, Jupiter and Yamaha. Most students will start on a smaller bore instrument, usually around .500”. When looking for a step-up instrument the most important consideration will be the type of music to be performed. The players who play primarily symphonic music will most likely want to move up to a large bore (.547”) tenor trombone. These instruments use a large shank mouthpiece and require a good steady supply of air! Players who are searching for a good instrument for jazz will usually find a smaller bore instrument, anywhere from .480-.508 a good fit. A good all around choice is the medium large tenor which has a bore size of .525.
We also stock mouthpieces from Schilke, Bach, Giddings and Webster, Yamaha and Stork. Trombonist’s can find a wide variety of music at The Horn Section including the Jamey Aebersold jazz Play-Along series and many standard etude and method books. If you are looking for some great trombone music to listen to, look no further. We stock CD’s by Frank Rosolino, John Allred, John Rojack of the American Brass Quintet and many others!
