Thomann AX 547 L Trombone

After borrowing a Thomann trombone for the first few months of my trombone life, I had bought this trombone from the recommendation of my instructor. After two years of playing this trombone, including one year in a wind orchestra, I would say that I am very satisfied with the build and sound of it as an inexpensive first trombone. This trombone has already been to the shop for repairs and the workers there have been impressed by the quality being better than expected. However, they did do some work to improve the slide and valve action and that did make the trombone much more playable. I expect that I will get a few more years out of this trombone before I would be skilled enough to move to a higher quality instrument. But until then, I am very satisfied with this one.
