Review by Ingo Lahme of Markus Leuchter's trombones

I’ve been waiting for this instrument for years—I never would have thought it possible that a new instrument could combine the qualities of the old Elkhart Conn bass trombones with modern playing and construction techniques. What won me over was the instrument’s sound—beautifully focused, yet full-bodied with plenty of overtones, very vocal, and at the same time crisp enough for big band music. And yet the instrument is very light in weight—a marvel of craftsmanship.

Thank you so much, Markus!
