Yellow brass bell delivers excellent projection





Even at the beginner level, a trombone’s bell significantly impacts the instrument’s sound. For the BTB211, Bach uses a yellow brass bell for a warm, ear-pleasing tone. Measuring eight inches in diameter, this bell can easily handle a wide range of dynamics without smearing or breaking up ? a must-have for new players. The Bach TBT211’s yellow brass bell provides a rich symphonic sound that perks band directors’ ears.





Built to last right here in the U.S.A.





The BTB211 is proudly built in the United States of America by the same artisans who craft Bach’s world-leading trombones. It’s equipped with slightly heavier bracing to withstand the “gentle” handling of first-time players. Beyond that, the BTB211 has an expertly fit nickel handslide for seamless action and smooth transitions between notes. With a Bach BTB211 student tenor trombone, you’ll get a durable trombone that plays well and sounds great.





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.
