John Packer Musical Instruments and Michael Rath Trombones have annoounced the lift off date for their long-awaited Bb/F student trombone.

Lift off

With John Packer now making a real mark on the American market place, the trombone will be launched at the International Trombone Festival in Austin, Texas on July 7th.

In the last 12 months, the JP231/Rath and JP230/Rath have set new standards for 'student' instruments and the initial reaction to the new Bb/F models suggest that these may be even more successful.
