Thomann Classic TF547 L Trombone

So. Where do i begin? I've played the trombone for about 8 years now and for most of those 8 years is played on an old B.S. trombone, which sounded like a dream. But after i left music school i had to look for a personal instrument and i was suggested Thomman. I cannot say i am disappointed. For the price, it is more than what can be expected. The tone is clean yet full bodied, the finish is marvelous and have had no issue with any visual flaws. It feels great to hold without any leather covers you might see professionals use. As well as the semi-hard case that came with the purchase is incredibly practical. It was a nice surprise due to it not being included in the product description! Overall an amazing instrument i plan on sticking with for years to come. My only issues were that it was a bit troublesome to find the tools necessary in order to perform maintainance on the quart valve as it had started to stick after a month or 2 which was to be expected. The other issue was a small blemish on the inside of the slide that could be fixed for 15 euros at the local instrument repair. All in all, an amazing instrument that a professional could get beautiful sounds out of and a great buy for those just starting out as well.
