Hot News for 'Sliders'

 

With the recent addition of the Eb 'Alto' Trombone to the ABRSM syllabus for grades 1-3, John Packer Ltd. have just the instrument for eager young players!

The JP 136 Alto Trombone costs only £94 (inc. VAT) or only £80 ex-VAT!

With this new addition to the 'JP' range of instruments we hope to overcome two obstacles at the same time. The physical difficulties that often deter young players are overcome by the size of this full seven position instrument, while the cost that has previously prohibited a wider use of the Alto trombone has been reduced to a level that even the most modest of budgets could manage.

But don't be fooled! This is not a cheaply made alternative. The JP 136 is a superbly finished instrument with a smooth slide action that makes it a pleasure to play, and each instrument is individually checked and set up by our expert craftsmen before leaving us.

The Eb Alto trombone is currently gaining popularity with many schools using it in the "Wider Opportunity" initiative either individually or as part of 'Eb projects'.
