Question
Hi,
I have been playing baritone/euphonium for roughly 11 years now, and currently use a Besson Sovereign on loan from my band. I am interested in learning trombone and was wondering what would be a good instrument to start on? I am on a relativley low budget as i will still be playing euphonium as my main instrument
Thanks
Answer
Hi Elliott,
If you've been playing euphonium for 11 years already, and you're currently playing a top-of-the-line instrument, you may want to consider getting a better trombone than a beginner model. If you tell me what your budget is and what style of music you'll be playing on trombone (concert band, orchestra, jazz, thrash metal, etc) I'll be able to recommend some trombone choices for you.
