Tempest Trombone - Professional F Attachment, Open Wrap, Gold Brass Bell, Heavy Weight Slide, Case, Mouthpiece, 5-Year warranty

A great choice for someone who may be tight on money, but if you're looking for a good, reliable horn to use for a long time, or professionally, I would not recommend. Be sure to have your own large bore mouthpiece (preferably 6 1/2 AL) because the mouthpiece that is given with the horn is terrible. Personally, my only issue with it is that the slide is a little noisy, regardless of how much lubricant you put on the slide. All and all, it's worth the price, but don't expect too much.

We bought this trombone for my son because he was going to be in high school and we thought he needed something better than what he had, but almost all trombones with F-attachments are so expensive these days. We asked around, and his new high school band director suggested this new brand, Tempest. Naturally, we looked into it, and it was super cheap compared to other brands, so we bought it. My son has had it for a year loves it. He recently tried out for the top band in his high school as a sophomore and made it as first chair using this horn. It plays with a beautiful sound and the F-attachment is very comfortable. A few weeks ago we had some trouble with the spit key, so we called Tempest and they fixed it for us, good as new. I would recommend this brand to anyone, any day (at least for trombones.)*Keep in mind that we did not buy this trombone through Amazon, we bought it directly from Tempest.

We ordered this trombone for my son. When we received it, he took it to his band director who listed 7 things wrong with it. I asked to return it and they sent me a return label. When they got the trombone they refused delivery and refused to give me my refund. Fortunately, Amazon is a stand up company and refunded my money for me. Run from this company!! Poor merchandise & service.
