As a Trumpet Player, I always wanted a Valve Trombone! The Thomann’s Bb-Valve Trombone is perfect. I love the finish, and the valve action! I have to get a new mouthpiece, it is too deep for me and it showed discoloration a day or two since I got it! Other than than... I am so very satisfied with my purchase!! Thanks Thomann for your very fast and efficient customer service! Delivery was quick also!
