Pitched in B-flat, the standard key for a tenor trombone, so a beginner can work straight from ordinary method books and ensemble parts. The horn is built in brass with a gold lacquer finish over the whole instrument. Brass is the traditional body material for a reason: it is durable enough to survive years of handling and it is what gives the horn its warm, resonant voice. The gold lacquer is not only cosmetic; the coating sits over the metal and keeps the surface looking finished under regular use. Balanced weight distribution is the detail a new player feels immediately. A trombone is held out in front of the body with one hand while the other works the slide, and an instrument that hangs evenly is far less tiring through a long practice session than one that pulls forward, which means longer sessions and faster progress. The mouthpiece supplied is a quality standard cupro-nickel piece, the alloy commonly used for mouthpieces because it stays comfortable against the lips and resists corrosion from repeated playing. Everything needed to look after the horn arrives with it. A wipe cloth handles fingerprints and moisture after playing, two white gloves keep skin oils off the lacquer while handling or performing, and a carrying case protects the instrument in transit and between sessions. Brand new and made to a high standard throughout, it is suited to beginners, students, teachers, and music lovers alike.
