PLAYTECH / PTSL-300

Material

Brass

A gold instrument that is commonly seen in general is a trombone made of this brass. It is an alloy of copper and zinc and is characterized by lightness. Many people choose the first trombone made of brass, which is recommended for beginners. As the copper content increases, the names change to Yellow Brass, Gold Brass, and Red Brass, and the tone becomes softer. (Hardness increases as metal)

Surface finish

lacquer

It is used to taste the protection of the surface, the subtle feeling of wind, and the change in tone. Clear lacquer is a general type that is clear and colorless and the color of the material comes out as it is. Besides, there are various lacquers such as gold, black and pink.

Silver plated

A material that plays deep and gentle tones. Less rusting than brass and easy maintenance.

Which part of the material to change?

Mouth pipe

From the mouthpiece entrance to the beginning of the slide's inner tube. It affects the feeling of wind (resistance) and the tone.

bell

Through all the tubes, the part of the morning glory that makes a sound greatly affects the tone.
