Blessing BVT1470 Performance Series Bb Valve Trombone Outfit, Brass Lacquer
Historically, the valve trombone was one of the most popular models offered by E.K. Blessing and the BVT-1470 Valve Trombone continues in this tradition.
If you're looking for a trombone that can handle lightning-fast passages with ease, the valve trombone might be the perfect match for you. This brass instrument was favored by Italian composers Verdi and Rossini for its agility, making it a versatile choice for everything from marches to cramped orchestra pits.
While some players find the tone to be a bit stuffy compared to its slide counterpart, the B♭ tenor valve trombone has the added benefit of using the same fingering as the B♭ trumpet. This makes it a popular choice for jazz musicians, including legendary players like Maynard Ferguson, Bob Brookmeyer, and Clifford Thornton. So, if you're a jazz trumpeter looking to expand your arsenal, the B♭ tenor valve trombone might be worth considering.
