Advert: John Packer Ltd

The brilliant new Rath R400 trombone is now available — and John Packer in Torquay is the place to get to grips with it first!

Thursday, 01 November 2012

For a long time Rath Trombones have wanted to make a trombone to bridge the gap between their student and custom made modular hand crafted trombones.

New

The result is the new non-modular R400 based on the most successful modular R4F combination.

For students looking to move from a beginners instrument to their first professional level trombone, these are excellent instruments to develop their style and technique before progressing to a fully modular trombone.

R400 Bb/F: Bore 0.547”, 8 ½” yellow bell, rotary valve: £1495 inc vat.

Torquay debut

John Packer Ltd are proud to be one of only two Rath trombone stockists in the UK with the new R00 series trombones and will have the R400 on display at the SWBBA championships at Torquay on Saturday 3rd November.

This new trombone is in addition to and compliments our stocks of Mick’s own handmade Rath trombones.
