Courtois Mezzo Bb/F Tenor Trombone, Medium Bore

Full Description

Mezzo 260

The popular Mezzo 260 model is the latest of the Antoine Courtois trombone series that features a medium bore and narrow side. The 260 has a .525" bore which is slightly smaller than the standard trombone. Because of this, the 260 doesn't need as much air to produce a very clear dynamic sound with great projection. The 260 features a nickel silver outer slide which is very lightweight and comfortable to hold. On the trigger, there is an adjustable thumb rest which is perfect for those with smaller hands.

Yellow Brass Bell

The yellow brass provides a nice balance between the various playing parameters, which makes it the most widely used and commonly played alloy in the world. The yellow brass allows for a bright and clear tone which is perfect for beginners.

Open Wrap System

The open wrap system makes a single large loop. This helps to reduce both air resistance and the number of connections between the main body and F attachment. This offers less back pressure and a more open feel when the trigger is engaged. Because of this, the open wrap system is the favourite for many musicians who prefer freer playing and vibration.

Everything You Need to Get Started

The trombone comes complete with a mouthpiece, a deluxe contoured case and maintenance kit so you have everything you need to start preparing. The hard case with solid contoured and durable exterior is perfect for taking your instrument between practice and performance, saving it from knocks during transport.
