[Trombone-l] Trombone for new elementary school player

[Wayne Dyess]

I bought the Bach 36 for both my kids from 7th grade through high  
school.  They started on beginner horns in the 6th grade.  We made the  
step-up, and I had planned to get them into something like the 88H  
later -- but neither wanted to move to the next level.

The Bach 36 was a wonderful transition instrument, and will sustain a  
good player through high school very well.
