Great instrument !!!

der Tessi, 26.10.2015

I was looking for a bass trombone in the price section by 3.000EUR (+/-) and I have played besides the Michael Rath R900 more instruments oa Jupiter JTB 740RL, Yamaha YBL-620 and a Kanstul 1670.
Speech, sound and handling I personally liked best with the R900.
It is played with a Schilke 59, the speech is just in the lower positions easy and accurate, the sound is full and clear, for me more triumphant than eg the Yamaha which has a full, soft, rather tubist tone (sorry, who likes) .
Pressure needs air ;-)
The instrument is, I call it powerful, but I did not expect that from a bass trombone. I feel good, balanced on the shoulder so that a five-hour gig will not be a pain. Well, I find the adjustment possibilities of the valve lever. Now I can do well everything (hand size 10.5) think also with smaller hands it is quite easy to use. It is important that there are no interfering screws, which could cause pressure points in the holding area.
The instrument is well tuned, no disturbing resonances - in any position.

Only Wermuttropfen is the included case, This is of poor quality. :-(

The R900 is worth its money and makes a lot of fun.

Many greetings from the Middle Rhine
