Description
The Fontaine FBW502 Bb Tenor Trombone is a large-bore instrument engineered for a broad, powerful symphonic sound.
Built with a free-blowing 13.9mm (0.547″) bore and an expanded 215mm bell, this model moves significant air volume to create a dark, rich resonance.
The clear lacquered yellow brass body is complemented by a brass outer slide and a cupronickel inner slide, ensuring rapid, smooth mechanical action and resistance to inner-slide wear.
This large-bore trombone is suited for advancing players, orchestral musicians, and wind ensemble participants who require a massive tonal footprint. The increased bore size demands proper breath control but rewards the player with substantial volume and a wider dynamic range.
Key Features:
- Brass & Construction: The clear lacquered yellow brass body and large 215mm bell project a warm, expansive tone required for symphonic repertoire.
- Ergonomics & Playability: The 13.9mm (0.547″) large bore design offers a free-blowing feel, allowing advanced players to push more air for greater volume and depth.
