Holton TR680 Tenor Trombone

HOLTON TR680 Details ^top

pictured TR680S

A large-bore tenor designed to serve as an alternative to artist models, the TR680 allows the student to bridge the gap between small-bore and large-bore instruments. It is highly recommended as an introduction to the bass trombone, as it offers enough resistance for the student to produce a full sound and assists in maintaining intonation. The unique “flat wrap” F attachment provides an extra measure of protection against damage.

I really like this trombone the only thing you need to know is keep the tuning valve greased. and the case gets dinged up easy,how ever this is an excellent trombone,it's great for advanced or intermedate players. the sound is amazing one can produce with this trombone,i highly recomend it.
