ive been playing trombone for 7 yrs now and i would really like to get a new horn!i would like suggestions from people on a nice horn that i could start saving up for(preferably something that i could find for around or under $1000).i feel that i really need a better trombone.i just started my first job,and am getting paid pretty well,so money isnt going to be a problem(i have never been able to because of money issues).im gonna be a junior in hs this year,and by the time im a senior i would like to have a nice horn(im gonna try to get a scholership(that isnt spelled right i know)playing trombone.so i would love to have a nice horn for then.

I suggest finding a bach 36 with a valve used somewhere. this is a .525 bore and can be used for eiether commercial or SOME legit work. good horn and you can use it for almost anything. and i suggest a gold bell.

I suggest gettin a 678 valve one that comes with the TilaGram with the 1-02 form. But you could be better off with making ur Chocolate Cake with Baking powder mixed with plain flour then using Self Raising flour. Maybe. I Could be wrong. Sometimes i shove Barvarian cocoa down the bell of my trombone so it creates an oxide with the Slide and its oil. Well Good Luck. Hope this helped my buddy!

lol thanks!

I just graduated from high school myself... I have been play trombone for around 10 years or so and professionaly for about 3 or 4. I just recently bought a bach stradivarious 36BO.... a huge step up from the Benge I had which was a intermediate trombone... the 36bo.. I absolutely love it. The pricing is pretty good for a student or even the rents if they are pitching in. My horn allows me to play anywhree from third in a symphony to 1st in jazz... so it is very versatile... I strongly reccomend it... i owuld also look into a Bach Strad 36CO which means convertable wrap... i have never personally tried it out.. but i like the theory behind it... it basically means it can go from a trigger to a strait tenor... Good Luck!

Thanks alot Kelly,that really helps.Think ill look into them.

Try to find a used Conn-88H, these are better than bach`s line of horns. There are many types, like i play on a Conn-88HCL which is a versatial horn.

i have to agree with the last msg..... or a besson sovereign... if u rele wna save up get a rath!
