The JP173 is supplied in a sturdy case with backpack and shoulder straps, and an outer pocket perfect for sheet music. Finish: Lacquer (Want silver plate? Check out the JP173S).Bell Size: Yellow Brass - 203.20mm (8").If you wait, you should be able to find a reconditioned horn with decent lacquer in that same price range. The only 883 I see on Ebay is really overpriced for the condition it's in. I've never played the Chinese-made marching trombones, but they seem to be emulating the King, which truly is blatty in the high range and stuffy in the low range. I also strongly disagree with the idea that a baritone is going to be a good replacement for a marching trombone. I think they're just abused more than other instruments tend to be. I see a lot that have been tossed around like footballs, and they tend to hold up well. I disagree with JTBandMusic about the flimsiness of these horns. I've never played the Kanstul, but since it's design is based on the King Flugabone, I wouldn't expect it to play much better. 515 bore is the best of the bunch, out-playing the Dynasty, King and Conn versions of the compact valve trombone. From my experience (which is extensive) the Bach/Blessing/Olds. Sounds like your son is in a band that requires the use of compact marching valve trombones, so there's no use comparing them to slide trombones or baritones-he'll need to play what the director wants him to play. If you HAVE to get a 'marching' type horn, get one of the stup-up Chinese marching Baritones, like Wessex. The King and Yamaha are probably the best. Marching baritones play a lot better than the marching trombones, but weigh a ton. Unfortunately lots of directors want that drum-corps look. Lots more sound, better tone, better intonation.
the best PLAYING horn for marching band would be a for-real bell front BARITONE, any brand. Marching trombones generally don't play very well. Flimsy every older band program probably his a couple of wrecked ones in the back room. High range isn't too bad, so if you are playing first it might be okay. Intonation has problems, lower range is really stuffy.
The Bach Marching Trombone was a design bought from Olds (also Reynolds) most were actually build by Blessing, and the horn was branded under all those names. The Bach I'm looking at has some cosmetic issues (a few dents that don't affect playing, some plating wear) but it is described as in good working order-valves work freely, slides all move, corks and felts were replaced. I would love to get him A Yamaha marching baritone but I don't have $2500 to drop on one (or even $1500 for a used one). I can't find much info on it online since the model is discontinued (I'm guessing it is 80s era?).
I figure anything would be an improvement but thought I'd ask if anyone has experience with one.
#Bach baritone horn plus#
Plus it is REALLY bell-heavy (and I know that some marching trombones/baritones are designed so that the bell tips up easily.I played one in HS but I don't know what brand it was). He has been using a school-owned marching trombone (Dynasty) which is awful-either sounds weak/airy and flat if you're playing at a low dynamic level or blatty if you are giving it all you have, it's really hard to find the middle of a pitch (even when I'm playing it-I don't have any such issues on other trombones or baritones I've used), and the valves stick frequently. Does anyone know if the Bach Mercedes 883 marching trombone is a relatively decent horn? I am considering buying one off of eBayfor my son to use in marching band.
