[Trombone-l] Trombone for new elementary - Now Bass Trb in C-Bb?

[Danner, Mearl]

That's like the one I saw Jeff Adams playing with the Jazz Ambassadors when they played in Birmingham. The Yamaha site says it's full sized, but the one I saw did not have a 7th position. Jeff also said that one of the partials tuned reverse what it would on a standard sized tenor.

Could be that Yamaha has changed the design and put a full length slide on it.

Maybe one of the Yamaha artists can chime in on this.....
