Shires trombones: Steve Shires is a master craftsman. The 420 comes in a variety of valve possibilities (rotary, Hagmann, Thayer). Courtois AC 420BOR: This is an open wrap F-attachment trombone similar to a Bach 42BO in my opinion.The 42B has changed the most recently, with different wraps and valves for the F-attachment. Arguably, all modern trombones are derived from things incorporated in these two models (one-piece or two-piece bells, soldered or unsoldered bell rims, bell flares, wide or narrow slides, etc.). Conn-Selmer: makers of Bach Model 42 (47) trombones/Conn 88H trombones: back in the day, the Bach 42B and Conn 88H were the two “gold standards” for trombones.Read more here: YSL-882OR Tenor Trombones with F Attachment It is, in my opinion, the best horn available today NOT made by a custom instrument manufacturer. Yamaha 882OR: The “R” in the model number is important here – this is the instrument designed by Larry Zalkind, trombone professor at Eastman, and former principal trombonist of the Utah Symphony.These horns will be in-line, price-wise, with the Greenhoe/Edwards/Shires horns – they’re custom made, and will take a while to make and for you to receive them.

M&W Custom Trombones: The M&W Trombones are amazing works of art, and are arguably the finest trombones made.Disclaimer aside, here are some possible recommendations for you. I personally think they’re the finest trombones made today and the best horns for me. I play an M&W 322 tenor trombone, an M&W 322-T tenor trombone, and an M&W 129.
