This Bach TB200B “Omega” step-up model tenor trombone is a single-owner instrument in excellent condition. Built with classic Bach medium bore specifications, it features an 8" yellow brass bell and a .525 bore handslide, offering a full, open sound while still taking a standard small shank mouthpiece. Includes a brand new Bach 6 1/2AL mouthpiece, trombone care kit, lubricants, and slide/valve maintenance supplies — everything needed to play right out of the box without a trip to the music store.
Freshly cleaned and serviced, this TB200B is ready for immediate use. The handslide action is exceptionally smooth, and the valve is quick and quiet, making it ideal for an advancing student ready for their first trigger trombone.
In 2025, a new Bach TB200B sells in the $3,000 range — roughly twice the cost of a top-tier entry-level trombone such as the Yamaha 354 or the Shires STBA (.500 bore) student/intermediate model. The primary step-up advantage is the larger .525 bore, which provides more breadth of sound and dynamic range while retaining small shank mouthpiece compatibility for ease of transition.
This instrument has been sold and is now preserved in our archive as a reference for musicians, parents, and educators considering the TB200B as a step-up option. To explore similar instruments currently available, browse our current trombone selection here 📌.
FAQ
What is the difference between a step-up and a beginner trombone?
A step-up trombone like the TB200B generally has a larger bore (.525 vs. .500), a more resonant bell, higher-grade materials, and often a trigger (F-attachment) for greater range and flexibility.
Is the Bach TB200B good for high school or college players?
Yes. It bridges the gap between beginner instruments and full large-bore professional models, making it a great fit for advancing students in concert band, jazz ensemble, or solo work.
Does the TB200B take a large shank mouthpiece?
No. Despite the .525 bore, it is designed for a standard small shank mouthpiece, making it an easy upgrade for players coming from beginner horns.
