Why the 36BO?
The Bach 36BO is widely regarded as one of the best step-up and professional-level options for players who want a versatile trigger trombone without the weight and blow of a full .547 large bore. It works beautifully as an all-around horn for band, orchestra, or solo use, and makes an ideal first pro-level F-attachment trombone for advancing students.
