The best all rounder!

Quite simply, the best and most versatile bass trombone I've played. The tone is entirely even across the whole range of the instrument, and the very low notes sound beautiful. At the top, the tone can be tenorish, which is useful when playing trombone 3 parts in modern concert band arrangements. I have played Bach and Yamaha for many years, and they are wonderful instruments, but the Holton is an excellent all rounder. I play in big bands and concert bands, but have played professionally in other ensembles.
