Beginners, especially middle schoolers, can be quite hard on their instruments. Luckily for parents and educators, the Bach TB301 is sturdy enough to handle just about anything a student can throw at it.

There’s also a connecting ring on the bell for further structural support. And with its clear lacquer finish, the TB301 is easy to maintain and looks great under stage lighting.





Seamless brass bell for punchy projection





A brass instrument’s bell plays a significant role in the sound of the horn. The Bach TB301 comes with a seamless yellow brass bell, which creates a warm and pleasant tone. The bell flares out to an impressive eight inches, which enables the player to go from playing pianissimo to fortissimo without a second thought. With the Bach TB301, new players will get the rich symphonic trombone sound with clear, punchy projection to fill the band room.





Bach: the professional choice





Often copied but never truly imitated, Bach trombones are the choice of players worldwide. Vincent Bach founded Bach brass in 1918 after a mouthpiece repair went wrong. By 1928, Bach introduced trombones into his lineup. Bach’s famous trombone designs stemmed from a combination of his musical know-how and engineering talent. He successfully identified what he needed from a trombone and set about creating an instrument that could solve the unique issues experienced by trombone players ? and he never looked back. More than a century later, Bach instruments are proudly crafted in Elkhart, Indiana, to the same lofty standards as those from the ’20s and ’30s.
