I just rec'd (pre-sold to a school) one of the JP/Rath 333 bass trombones

REALLY nice instruments...

Usually, the playing slides on these - end-to-end - are within .002" of being parallel.

This particular one was factory dialed in at .000".

These are made of 80/20 "gold" brass - including the outside slide tubes...so no chance of any red-rot.

The really high-grade zipper hard case is reminiscent of Marcus Bonna (re: style/quality).

(I believe I would pull off the balancer and stuff it in the sock drawer, but that's just me.)

I'll quote a confidential price...Just send me a p.m...and no, these are not $750 "instrument-shaped objects".
These are professional-grade instruments.

Very good instruments. I wish I had an opportunity to play mine more often.

We just sold my daughter's rath trombone this week, and sold her JP/rath 331 last year. I'm actually down to the bass trombone being the only trombone in the house with a trigger, so even though I don't play it much, I still feel like I need to hold onto it for my one trombone lesson I teach each week
