Courtois AC440BR Bb/F Tenor Trombone, Yellow Brass Slide

Full Description

Rose Brass Bell

Rose brass 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. Whilst maintaining a high level of projection rose brass manages to provide a broader, fuller tone.

Yellow Brass Slide

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. Offering an elegant and homogeneous sound to the musician.The Courtois’ extensive manufacturing method results in a smooth transition of the slide and a long lasting consistency.

440 Model Offers Dynamic Sound

The popular 440 model is the latest of the Antoine Courtois trombones series, reminding many players of the American trombones of the 60s and 70s. Loyal Courtois players appreciate the 440 for what they refer to as its "real trombone sound". The 440 is capable of producing a very clear dynamic tone with a round, compact sound with great projection. Ideal for those looking for a virtuoso trombone with unique feel and sound, the 440 offers flexible playability. This instrument also comes with a case which will help to prevent damage to the finish of the instrument, keeping it looking, feeling and sounding brand new for longer.

Closed Wrap F Tubing

The closed wrap style of F tubing is the most widely played in the world. It involves two loops turned on themselves with bends in the air column pathway. Several connections through the trombone provide the musician with a compact and homogeneous sound.

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 outer casing, is perfect for taking your instrument between practice and performance, saving it from knocks during transport.
