Elkhart 200TBFG Bb/F Trombone Outfit

What they say

The quality of the musical instrument you learn on can have a huge impact on how your playing develops and how motivated you are to continue learning. This is especially true for brass and woodwind instruments. The Elkhart 200TBFG Bb/F trombone is perfect for students needing to upgrade from their first instrument. Unlike similarly priced trombones, the Elkhart 200TBFG features a large bore which is ideal for producing a huge symphonic sound. The rose brass bell will project this sound with lots of warmth and easily fill any sized hall.

Incredibly versatile design

Although the Elkhart 200TBFG is best suited in an orchestral or brass band environment, it would also blend in nicely with a jazz band or small ensemble. The rose brass bell is popular among orchestral players for its ability to achieve much darker sounds than yellow brass can. This is because rose brass contains a higher amount of copper than yellow. While maintaining a high level of projection, rose brass manages to provide a broader, fuller tone. Once the 200TBFG has been constructed, a bright layer of clear lacquer is applied to keep the trombone looking its best.

Closed wrap design

The F attachment on the Elkhart 200TBFG features a traditional closed wrap design. This type of design is prefered by beginners as it is easier to produce a stable note with better tuning. It is also a more protected design compared to an open wrap design which stretches beyond the tuning slide and is vulnerable to denting.
