Key Features
Progress with confidence. Specially designed for advancing players, the Besson BE144G New Standard Bb/F trombone in gold lacquer is the best place to start your musical career. By understanding what students want, and combining it with Besson's rich history of instrument manufacturing, Besson have designed an instrument that will excel your playing.
It all starts with the design. The dual bore slide on the BE144G allows the instrument to play like a small bore trombone, and yet have the larger sound associated with medium bore instruments. Similar to professional trombones, the Besson BE144G is mostly constructed from gold brass which produces a beautifully rich tone. To make sure you can start practising straight away, the Besson BE144G New Standard trombone includes a mouthpiece and case for easy transportation.

The Besson BE144G features a gold brass bell which is the material of choice for orchestral brass musicians. The high copper content in gold brass allows for a much darker sound than yellow brass can achieve.
The Besson BE144G has a nickel silver inner slide which provides a bright and powerful sound to the performer. Nickel silver is used for many premium trombone slides because it's firmer and has greater corrosion resistance compared to standard brass. Once the BE144G has been constructed, a layer of gold lacquer is applied to make sure the instrument stays looking newer for longer.
The closed wrap style of F tubing found on the Besson BE144G is the most widely played in the world. It involves two loops turned on themselves with bends in the air column pathway. Many trombonists prefer this style as it provides a more compact sound which also balances better than the open wrap style.
The BE144G features a dual bore slide with the first slide measuring .500'' and the second slide measuring .525''. This feature allows the trombone to be lighter in weight and play similar to a small bore trombone, but can also achieve the large symphonic sound often associated with medium bore trombones. The BE144G is made using similar manufacturing processes that Besson use when producing their professional instruments. These high-end features make the Besson BE144G ideal for anyone looking to upgrade their instrument to a more advanced model, while not paying a premium price tag.
The New Standard series of instruments from Besson are designed to redefine the student market. These instruments have been created to provide great sounding beginner instruments that are also reliable, practical, and hard wearing. Thanks to the very desirable price, the New Standard series of instruments have become popular among teachers, and are regularly bought for training bands and educational authorities.
To ensure that you have the best possible experience, Besson have included everything you need to get started. To keep the trombone safe, the BE144G comes with a case that offers strong protection. Made from shaped ABS with an aluminium frame, this case will be able to keep up with a busy music schedule! Moulded especially for the BE130, the New Standard trombone fits perfectly inside the case. For an extra touch of protection, the inside is lined with a soft touch material that won't scratch your trombone. There is also a dedicated compartment to store the included mouthpiece.
