Heribert Glassl

Bb/F Tenor- yellow brass Here is an interesting sackbut. Bb tenor baroque trombone with an F attachment. This instrument is not historically accurate because of its rotary valve. A real joy to play, so much fun. Also has a spit valve and tuning slides. Playing characteristics are the most like a modern trombone, but with the sound of a sackbut. It is very comfortable to play and to hold. Is made from yellow brass, no ornamentation. We're calling this one "The Gigmeister".

New $4000
