Joseph Alessi
ARTIST MODEL
For musicians looking to be a cut above the rest.
The Joseph Alessi Artist Model Tenor Trombone is the result of groundbreaking design and innovation, created in collaboration with Joseph Alessi, principal trombonist of the New York Philharmonic. This instrument redefines excellence with its perfect balance of color, efficiency, and resonance, capturing the legendary sound and versatility demanded by one of the world’s greatest trombonists.
The lightweight, two-piece yellow-brass bell produces a rich, mature sound that effortlessly projects in any ensemble while maintaining clarity and depth. Combined with a newly designed Alessi rotary valve and a gold brass F-attachment slide, this trombone delivers unmatched stability, flexibility, and expressive range. This exquisite combination offers the ultimate versatility for any musician looking to be a cut above the rest.
“This instrument has brought my sound to life!”
