Blessing Bb Valve Trombone .470 Bore Clear Lacquer Outfit

Historically the valve trombone was one of the most popular models offered by E.K. Blessing. The BVT1470 Valve Trombone continues in this tradition. Pitched in Bb and designed with a trumpet valve block the valve fingerings are identical to the trumpet but the sound is one octave lower. It is the perfect double for a trumpeter or affordable alternative for members of the low brass section that prefer the traction valves provide particularly for fast passages that may be problematic for a hand slide. With its bell forward projection the BVT1470 provides the playability desired in school marching pep or jazz band settings.
