The K&H Orchestra Signature bass trombone is a premier instrument custom made in Markt Erlbach, Bavaria, Germany. The modular system allows customization to your preferences. This is one of very few bass trombones featuring the new Meinlschmidt Open-Flow rotary valves. These rotors are remarkable, and when mated to a fine German instrument like the Kuhnl & Hoyer, it's captivating.
For those who travel, the bell is available with an optional removable flare. The case looks like a viola case.
This model with inline rotors in F/Gb/D is the modern setup for the most agility in the low range by permitting independent use of either rotor. A slightly more resistant response enhances the highs in the tone, giving more center. The pedal tones may feel more resistant compared to the stacked rotor setup, but not much. But hardly anyone orders stacked valves anymore, so inline it is.
Extra attention is paid to ergonomics on these trombones. The hand slide features a curved brace and the bell section has an additional curved brace behind the first trigger paddle. The second trigger paddle is curved to fit more comfortably and a clever hand rest supports the back of the player's left hand.
