Built to the exacting standards of the Stradivarius series in Elkhart, Indiana, it was developed in close collaboration with the legendary Bill Watrous, widely regarded as one of the most technically accomplished jazz trombonists of the 20th century, and it remains the instrument most closely associated with his name.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWhat sets the LT16M apart from other small-bore Bach trombones is the combination of two defining features: the lightweight nickel silver outer handslide and the open gooseneck. The lightweight slide reduces physical resistance to almost nothing, giving the player exceptional speed and precision for fast jazz lines and commercial work, while delivering a degree of control that heavier slides simply cannot match. The open gooseneck design produces a noticeably more open, free-blowing feel with significantly less back-pressure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe .509” single bore works in direct partnership with these features, providing a focused, characterful tone with the projection needed to cut through a band. The 7½” one-piece hand-hammered yellow brass bell yields a warm but penetrating sound with genuine tonal colour, whether in a jazz big band, small combo, or commercial ensemble. The clear lacquer finish adds a subtle warmth without colouring the instrument’s natural voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eSupplied with a genuine Vincent Bach 7C mouthpiece and a zippered Cordura wood shell case.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Notes\u003cbr\u003eIn store @ Music Junction Camberwell\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThis is an ex-display instrument in excellent playing condition.
