Bass Trombone Accessories
The Edwards B454 is a fully modular instrument that can be custom
fit to any player. In addition to numerous bell, slide, and valve
options, the following accessories allow a bass trombonist to
find the perfect sound and feel for every occasion.
Bass Convertor
 
Price: $300.00
Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 weeks
The Bass Convertor (BC401) replaces the second
valve on the B454, turning it into a single valve bass trombone.
This convertor is ideal for those situations where a lighter
sound is ideal. Since it also removes a lot of resonating mass,
it can lighten the sound for early period music.
Open Bass Neckpipe
Price: $300.00
Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 weeks
For those times when a concert series is void of valve notes,
rest your arm and shoulder by employing the Open Bass
Neckpipe (BN400). Couple this neckpipe with a smaller
9" bell, and you have the perfect setup for a section including
an alto and small tenor.
Optional Tuning Slides
Price: $275.00
Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 weeks
The Eb tuning slide takes the place of the Gb slide on the independent
B454. It gives the player a low Eb with only the second valve
depressed.
The D tuning slide also takes the place of the Gb slide on the
independent B454. This slide will greatly shorten the distance
a bass trombonist has to move his slide in the valve register.
The optional second valve slides offer numerous possibilities
for alternate slide positions. These slides are very large and
add weight and length to the horn. However, the added weight
is offset by the improved balance these slides can provide.
Counterweight
Price: $50.00
Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 weeks
The Edwards counterweight not only balances the horn, preventing
it from becoming "bell heavy," but it also can have
a positive effect on the way it plays. The addition of the counterweight
can darken the sound while making it easier to slot the partials.
On the other hand, for those players that want a wider sound,
the counterweight may not be a positive addition to your horn.
Wood Trigger Lever
Price: $20.00
In our constant pursuit of perfection, we are offering another
option for our trombone customers. Three wood trigger dowels
are now available on our valved trombone models. This upgrade
is only $20.
Thanks go to Armin Clobes and Edwards Associate Michael Clobes
for “triggering” the project.
If you have a horn on order and want to switch from the plastic
delrin please contact us immediately. If you have an existing
instrument you can remove your delrin trigger and replace it
with wood as well. We can talk you through this procedure on
the phone. |
