The Antoine Courtois New York series trombones have been developed in collaboration with two outstanding American orchestral players, Paul Denson Pollard for the bass trombone, and Weston Sprott for the tenor trombone, both members of the New York Metropolitan Opera.
This trombone is an evolution of the LEGEND models with many different features such as specially designed leadpipe, venturi and playing slide, as well as an ergonomic hand rest.
ful and flexible orchestral trombone, the S.E. Shires Axial Flow Trombone is it. Packed with attitude, it is amazingly consistent and even throughout the range.
For the first time in Antoine Courtois’ history, this model is equipped with a specially designed bell with a cut screw ring flare, which enables this instrument to be transported in a deluxe flat case, hardly larger than a viola case, making it much more travel friendly.
The screw ring on the bell flare also brings a more compact, focused sound with a lot of projection, which Weston Sprott is particularly pleased with.
