If you're playing jazz, commercial, pop or funk style you'll probably look to a choice of the R12 (0.481"/0.491"), R10 (0.500"), R1 (0.500"/0.510") and R2 (0.510") models, whilst if your playing is focused more on orchestral, brass band and wind band the R3 (0.525" medium large bore) and R4 (0.547" large bore) trombones are going to be more suitable.
All of our instruments are modular designs; as and when your needs change you can adapt their instrument to suit, changing components as necessary.
For the R3 and R4 models this can include adding a valve section, without the need for any prior modifications to the instrument.
