Instrument-Specific Overview
Tenor & Alto Trombone
Balanced resistance with stable tuning, allowing confident practice throughout the full range without stuffiness or pitch drift.
Bass Trombone
Optimised internal volume and airflow for low-register clarity, strong response, and consistent pitch — even at soft dynamics.
Baritone
Smooth even resistance that mirrors open playing, making long practice sessions comfortable and musically productive.
Tenor Horn
Carefully tuned to avoid sharpness when seated firmly in the bell, maintaining a centred, controlled sound.
