Bach BTB201 Bb Student Trombone – Yellow Brass Lacquer (Used)
A pre-owned, teacher-approved student tenor trombone built for smooth slide action and warm, easy tone — looked over and ready to play.
Is This the Right Trombone for You?
The Bach BTB201 is a classic first trombone, engineered specifically for beginning players, and it earns its place in band rooms across the country. Its .500" bore is friendly for a young player's air, so notes speak easily without demanding a lot of wind, while the seamless 8" yellow brass bell gives back warm tone and easy projection. Where this horn really shines is the slide: a chrome-plated nickel-silver inner tube delivers the smooth, quick action a beginner needs to nail positions cleanly, and the nickel-silver outer tubes and crook add durability for daily student use. The reverse tuning slide opens up the blow just slightly for a comfortable, free-feeling response. Since it's already been looked over and set up to play, this used BTB201 is a smart, budget-friendly way to put a genuine Bach in a new player's hands.

From the Spotts Crew
The BTB201 is the kind of horn that quietly does its job right: smooth slide, warm bell, easy to blow, and tough enough to survive a first year of band. It's a genuinely good place to start a trombone player, and we're glad this one is heading toward its next set of hands. We've had it looked over and playing the way it should. If you'd like to talk through fit for a particular student or have any questions, we're always happy to help.
