Show Demo Antoine Courtois AC422BOR Creation Paris Tenor Trombone with Icon Valve F-Attachment, Rose Brass Bell

 One of the best trombones available right now!

We were excited to be able to bring back an Antoine Courtois Creation Paris Trombone from ITF this year (if you were there and went to the Courtois booth then this is the horn you played). The Creation Paris is (IMHO) one of the best sounding and playing trombones available! This is a great chance to save money while getting an exceptional instrument.

Antoine Courtois is proud to present its new line of trombones, CREATION PARIS, the culmination of a close collaboration between their French school trombonists and their R&D team located in Germany.

The AC422BOR Creation Paris with Rose Brass bell offers everything you desire in a Rose Brass bell that makes it so appealing for soloists and orchestral/classical ensemble playing (consistency of tone across all registers and through wide dynamic range). This trombone possesses a lot of character with a complex and engaging tone that will light up the concert hall. The Icon Valve is smooth, with an easy compact throw that makes accessing the trigger notes feel free and almost seamless.

This is what Antoine Courtois says: "These models have a rich, elegant sound with forceful yet easy projection. Full of personality, these trombones lend flexibility of interpretation to solo performances, chamber music and symphonic arrangements alike." We totally agree! These trombones are a lot of fun to play and have a rewarding sound!

The Icon Valve (from Courtois)

Introducing our latest invention, the ICON Valve, extremely light with revolutionary dimensions: greater in diameter than traditional valves and not as thick. This new technology allows the ports inside the valves to be made perfectly round without ovalising them as is often the case in other systems. These innovations lend an optimal resonance with perfect ease and consistency of resistance between open notes and notes using valves.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

This is a show demo. There was a small dent in the bell by the logo (over the "o", "n" and "e" in Antoine) that has been repaired. There is a cosmetic blemish, a scuff/scratch, on one of the outer legs of the handslide. 

Sold with case and Courtois size 6 1/2 trombone mouthpiece.
