We are very proud to announce that we now have the honour to be stocking Michael Rath trombones. We are the only specialist in the country to be given this responsibility outside Michael Rath's own Yorkshire premises.
This isn't simply a question of having the odd trombone in stock. A number of our staff and technicians have been trained by Michael's specialists and we now have an enormous selection of Michael Rath trombones, slides, bells, leadpipes and valves etc. to enable instruments to be customised precisely to fit the requirements of the most discerning player.
These instruments are a wonderful blend of function and form and are both beautifully made to the highest engineering standards and capable of playing to the highest standards.
Steve Herbert, our experienced Brass Department Manager, is in sole charge of offering a special trombone tailoring service and is looking forward to working with our customers to create their ideal instrument. Owing to the number of possibilities, this is a very worthwhile, but necessarily time consuming process and needs to be done on an appointment basis. For further details or to make an appointment please call Steve on 01823 282386.
This also seems to be an appropriate time to say that, following a recent factory visit by Michael Rath and John Packer, we are about to take delivery of a prototype model of our new JP/Rath .500 bore tenor trombone. Medium/large and large bore Bb/F trombones will follow close behind. We hope to have full production models of all three types available early in 2010. Keep watching for news of the launch!
