The John Packer JP131R Bb tenor trombone is designed for players who are ready to progress from a medium bore instrument towards the feel and sound of a larger bore trombone. Its 12.7/13.3mm (.500"/.525") dual bore provides a comfortable level of resistance while allowing the player to develop a broader and more powerful sound.
This makes the JP131R a practical step-up instrument for advancing students, school and music service players, and musicians looking for an affordable introduction to dual bore playing. Careful development has helped to provide a good balance between responsive performance, reliable construction and a consistent tone.
The yellow brass body is protected by a lacquered finish, while the contrasting rose brass bell gives the instrument a distinctive appearance. Rose brass also contributes to the JP131R's rich, warm tonal character.
The 203mm (8") bell helps the instrument produce a full sound with plenty of projection, making it suitable for ensemble rehearsals, lessons and performances. Its dual bore design gives developing musicians room to strengthen their technique and explore a larger sound without immediately moving to a full large bore instrument.
Well balanced and engineered with an appropriate amount of resistance, the JP131R supports controlled playing across the instrument's range. It is an accessible choice for players looking to take the next step beyond their first student trombone.
The JP131R combines a robust yellow brass body with the practical features needed for regular playing. It is suitable for use in schools, music services, youth ensembles, brass bands and other group settings, as well as for individual practice and tuition.
A John Packer JP606 12C trombone mouthpiece and a high-quality hard case are included, providing the essential equipment needed to begin playing and transport the instrument safely.
