What’s the one thing all great trombones must have? A great slide. The Blessing BTB-1287 is no exception – it is ready for the classroom and the stage. The chrome-plated nickel hand slide is durable without sacrificing the smooth, responsive action required to learn the instrument. Designed for a student or part-time player, the BTB-1287 performs like a professional level model with a rich, resonant sound, quick response and even timbre throughout all registers. The unique brushed brass finish stands out in a crowd and will encourage a young player to pick it up and play.
