The New Generation! Bb-Tenor Trombone Bart van Lier ".480/88 MK II"   *NEW*
Bart van Lier: “Kühnl & Hoyer and I are very proud to present the new Bart van Lier model “MK II". There were still some wishes to make the instrument Bb-tenor trombone “.480/88” more flexible and mellow. It is very easy now to go from a darker to a brighter sound and slurs are more smooth. The response is still easy, while the tone quality gives you the idea of a bigger bore instrument. The set up I use now is as follows: “.480/88” bore with bigger bell (diameter 195 mm) and silver lead pipe in combination with my 8F mouthpiece. This is the best horn I ever played. TRY IT!!!”

Bb-Tenor Trombone Bart van Lier ".500" Bart van Lier about the Bb-Tenor Trombone Bart van Lier ".500“: “The 0.500 bore (medium bore) tenor trombone is the most popular bell diameter since the nineteen fifties. For some trombone players, a small bore instrument does not give enough freedom to express themselves. However, the medium bore “Bart van Lier .500” of Kühnl & Hoyer is attractive for every tenor trombone player. The tone of this instrument is a good mixture of roundness, warmth and brightness. Because of the light resistance, this instrument is also suitable for beginners. I am so enthusiastic about this trombone that I have also absorbed this model, next to the small bore “Bart van Lier”-trombone, in my professional playing.”

Bb-Tenor Trombone Bart van Lier ".512" Bart van Lier about the Bb-Tenor Trombone Bart van Lier ".512“: “The “Bart van Lier .512“ has the same characteristic like the models “.480/88” and “.500”. The difference is the larger bore and the larger bell, whereby the sound also increase. Because of this feature, this model is applicable in brass bands very well. The model “.512” is comparably suitable for chamber musical purposes as well as for jazz and classic solos.”
