[Trombone-l] On bell sound reflectors

[Jon Studer]

 Back in 2014 I bought the Mackbrass .com TB831L bass trombone for about $900. Price is up to $1149. 
They have been in business for over 10 years. Tom McGrady was easy to talk to and communicated the process well. 
They can have some delays on shipping as their instruments go quickly. 
I use it in a local community jazz band & concert band where I only play about once or twice a week. 
It’s held up quite well.

Since I have the opportunity, I thought would put out an inquiry to the group.

I’ve been playing since the mid 1960s and have been very active with jazz and big band groups and a community orchestra here and there.

My passion is teaching and I have a number of folks interested in learning the double valve bass.

Some time ago – probably several years now – there was a discussion on an imported brand of inexpensive trombones. The group generally concluded that they aren’t Bach or Shires level instruments but were perfectly satisfactory for casual nonprofessional use and for teaching.

Does anyone have an idea what these instruments may be?

Many thanks!

The trumpet players I have seen with them, seem to be using this: https://olveramusic.com/en/trombone-sound-reflector/3851-om-trombone-sound-reflector.html

I have used the ones that sit around the microphone, like this 9not exactly this one, but similar): https://www.amazon.com/SOUND-Model-MULTI-D-Trombone-Flute/dp/B08PTD2LX8

I do not know how much the bell clip ones weigh, that would be my main concern. I did like the mic mounted one when I was doing lots of loud stuff.
