    I used to have all Shires trombones and I sold them all early after the acquisition happened. I did so because my bass trombone slide which was practically brand new developed a terrible finish...

    I own six custom trombones from Rath. I chose them because their customer service was amazing and they would basically sit down and build whatever I wanted to be built. For example, they made custom...

    I haven't owned one but I've tried them several times. I never noticed that the instrument was overall sharp. Props to you for being resourceful enough to use tubing from the fourth valve slide to...

    the brass band euphonium part for Thomas Doss's Spiriti requires cup and bucket mutes! I'd say it was silly, but both are actually really cool effects the way they are written and you'd be missing a...

    It's very expensive and there are very few people who still do it, meaning there would likely be a multiple year wait. They have to take the whole instrument apart so the valve cluster is accessible,...

    The Packer is made in a different factory and is a slightly different design. I feel out of those three the wessex is by far the best playing instrument.
