Blessing Tenor Trombone, .547" Bore, Open Wrap, F Rotor, Yellow Brass Bell

For generations, E.K. Blessing has offered an affordable large bore F-attachment trombone for the advanced trombonist without compromising on build quality and playability. Approved by educators for decades, the classic B88 was a traditional first choice for a serious student, laying the foundation in high school bands across the USA.<br><br>The BTB1488 trombones are an evolution of this legacy. Design refinement in the hand-slide construction and body bracing offer a more resonant instrument that is responsive and easier to play with fantastic projection. At Blessing, our core values remain the same. The BTB1488 Performance trombones offer accessibility to a path for rapid growth and musical development along with a modern playing experience that rival many professional models.<br><br>BTB1488O Resistance and sound = Freer Blowing / More Open blow. Yellow brass offers a clear, pure sound that is even and consistent throughout a player's dynamic and tonal range.<br><br>Open Wrap: The open wrap has fewer bends and a straighter pathway for the air; providing a freer blowing option.<br> <br>Yellow Brass Bell: (70% copper 30% zinc) - Yellow brass offers a consistent timbre at all dynamic levels and registers with wonderful projection.<br><br>Lacquer Finish: Lacquer is a clear epoxy protective coating that is sprayed onto the instrument in the finishing process to maintain its clean appearance.
