Trombone models

I currently own a Holton w/F-attachment and I love it. The only thing is that when I play it, the trigger sometimes vibrates and It sounds a little tight due to the tight wrap trigger.

What other instruments would be close to this without the problems?

Has a repair man gone over your horn? It may just be a problem within the trigger itself that could cost less than a new horn.

Otherwise, Bach's trombones are pretty much standard, and most of the local trombone players really like the higher-end Yamaha horns they rent from the college.

yeah, I had it in for a week at a repair shop and they just told me that is was time to get a new one.

It's over 20 years old and has been played constantly.

check out Eastman if you can find one. ive had no trouble with my etb432g but then again ive only had it for a couple months.

Conn 88H, Bach Strad, King 3B all would be good horns. My personal preferance would lean towards an open wrap rather than a tight wrap as they tend to plow a little easier. All of these would be a big step up from your Holton.

Definitely. I hate plowing using those tight wraps. Talk about back breaking!

yeah, that's what I have now and it's really hard to play the trigger notes.
