Historically, the valve trombone was one of the most popular models offered by E.K. Blessing. The BVT1470 Valve Trombone continues in this tradition. Pitched in Bb and designed with a trumpet valve block, the valve fingerings are identical to the trumpet, but the sound is one octave lower. It is the perfect double for a trumpeter or affordable alternative for members of the low brass section that prefer the traction valves provide, particularly for fast passages that may be problematic for a hand slide. With its bell forward projection, the BVT1470 provides the playability desired in school marching, pep, or jazz band settings.
As students develop musically, they will need an instrument that allows for greater response, tonal color, and dynamic range. The E.K. Blessing Performance Series offer a great balance between price and performance. Created for the advanced student, these models provide the sound and playability of a professional instrument. The target player is the advanced student grades 6-12. Whatever your goal, the Performance Series by E.K. Blessing may take you on a lifetime of musical enjoyment.
