Instrument
The brass horn with the slide. The student models here are the Bach TB300 and Yamaha YSL-200AD, the Yamaha YSL-447G is the step-up, and the Bach 36B, Conn 88H and King 2B are the pro horns players ask for by name. The hand slide decides whether a trombone is any good to play, so look at it before anything else. It should be straight, free of dents and glide its full length without catching.
