This used 1977 Holton TR181 bass trombone has dual inline independent rotors and G/Gb attachment, and it is in very good condition. We gave it a full professional cleaning and a precision rotor alignment, and despite surface scratches throughout, there's very little lacquer loss. There are signs of previous minor repairs, but no evidence of significant trauma. We also added a custom wooden trigger touchpiece that looks and feels excellent.
In our playtests, this vintage TR181 has very good slide action and a huge, powerful sound in the lower register. The horn is flexible and offers versatile tuning setups, making it well-suited for a variety of ensemble or solo situations. Comes with the original case in fair condition.
FROM CONN-SELMER: The Holton TR181 inline independent double rotor bass trombone has the reputation of having established the true bass trombone sound. The 10" red brass bell has been styled to maintain a consistent, warm timbre at low and high dynamic levels. The unique G/Gb attachment can be reconfigured to the player's taste for setting up low C and B natural when desired. The bore design assures proper reinforcement of the lower partials. The chrome plated nickel silver inner handslide tubes provide the ideal surface for smooth and quick handslide action. Used w/ case
