Our Blessing BTB1287C is no exception - it is ready for the classroom and the stage. It features a nickel silver outer slide that is ideal for longevity and a chrome plated nickel hand slide is durable without sacrificing the smooth, responsive action required to learn the instrument. Designed for a student, the BTB1287C performs like a professional level model with a rich, resonant sound, quick response and even timbre throughout all registers. With a smooth slide and great resonance, few beginner trombones play as well as the Blessing BTB1287C.
