2-piece yellow brass bell
A trombone’s bell is the heart and soul of the sound. XO knows this, which is why they fitted the 1236L-O with a 2-piece yellow brass bell. Flaring out to an impressive 8.5-inch diameter, the bell offers up a well-balanced tone with a lively response at louder dynamics. The expansive bell width also allows for a nuanced sound through all registers and dynamics. XO’s 2-piece design gives the trombone a controlled resonance and super-consistent sound. You’ll appreciate the 1236L-O’s superb sound from the moment you play your first notes.
Customize your playing experience with interchangeable leadpipes
XO is committed to delivering the best possible playing experience with each of their instruments. A trombone should feel like a perfectly natural extension of yourself, and breath resistance plays a major role in achieving that “perfect” feeling. The 1236L-O comes with three interchangeable leadpipes, so you can customize the horn to fit your unique tonal needs. What’s more, XO included a removable gold-plated counterweight to further customize the feel of your 1236L-O trombone.
