Trombone Models - Stradivarius (Tenor)

Model 4 0.468" 7.000"

Reviews

Medium-Small Bore slide (0.468") with a medium-small bore bell. An excellent instrument for small orchestras where only two brasses, trumpet, trombone are in the ensemble.  This trombone has a most perfect intonation and responds beautifully to muting.  The tone is compact, brilliant and free from thinness, commonly termed "nasal twang."  The Model 4 has been especially designed for players with a delicate embouchure to enable them to play the entire register, particularly the high notes, with the utmost ease.

For engagements in hotels, restaurants, small bedrooms and other places where the requirements are usually for subdued music, this instrument will be found thoroughly desirable and suitable.

Model 36 0.525" 8.000"

Reviews
by BrassReview.com

Large bore slide (0.525") with large bore bell.

For the first trombone work in large symphony or concert orchestras.  Remarkable high register so essential for modern symphony work.  Beautiful, broad and sonorous tone, full of life.  Abundant tone-volume and carrying power.  No risk of over blowing this instrument as there is no player with sufficient power to reach the limit of its fortissimo.

Model 36B 0.525" 8.000"

Reviews
by BrassReview.com

Model 36 with F valve.

For 1st and 2nd trombone work in large symphony, opera, or concert orchestras or band.  Identical bore (0.525") and construction as the previous model, but with a rotary valve.  By using the "F" valve, the entire chromatic scale down to the pedal notes can be played.  "F" valve valve slide can be pulled out to "E".  (See illustration of the Medel 50B trombone)

9" bass trombone with F valve.

For the 3rd trombonist (bass trombonist) in large symphony, opera, or concert orchestras or bands.  Similar in construction to the previous tenor trombone with F valve (F Valve slide can pulled out to E), but has a large sized bell and a large slide bore (0.562).  It retains its great, majestic tone to the lowest pedal notes.  Indispensable in symphony organizations, this instrument is also recommended for first class concert bands, for its adds sonority and "body" to the brass section.
