Challenger Trombones I & II 360B
The "Challenger" Courtois Trombone series

 Taking in respect the great success of our new Challenger line and our Challenger II series, we would like to introduce our new trombone 360.

CHALLENGER I : This line will benefit of two new instruments that will complete our range, offering a trombone with a smaller bore, specially designed for musicians willing a medium large bore instrument with a standard mouthpiece with small shank.

The 360 models

Plus :
-
Medium bore and small shank mouthpiece
-
Easy to blow
- Lightweight
- Mellow and rich sound
- 4 different models

1. "360B Challenger I" : This Bb Trombone with a bore of 13,40 mm (.527"), is very easy to blow and thanks to its smaller bell, diameter 202 mm (7.953") produces a rich and mellow sound. The TB 6 1/2 MPA mouthpiece is with a small shank, and the slide is build out with outer tubes in nickel-silver. The 360B Challenger I trombone, has F-attachment with miniball linkage.

"360T Challenger I" : This trombone has the same characteristics than the 360B but without the F-attachment. It is a Tenor Trombone.
Some of the leading trombonists, will prefer this model, completely free-blowing and very light weight.

2. "360B II Challenger II" : To fullfill all the needs of artists and musicians, we created this new instrument on the same basis than the 360B but with dual-bore , offering a larger sound than this last one but slightly smaller than the 420B and allowing to play the instrument with a TB 6 1/2MPA mouthpiece with a small shank.
This professional instrument will satisfy the most demanding musicians not willing to play the large bore Trombones. The bore is 13,40/13,89 mm (.527"/.547"), with F-attachment with miniball linkage, a brass lead-pipe and outer tubes made out of brass.

"360T II Challenger II" : This trombone has the same characteristics than the 360B II but without the F-attachment. It is a Tenor Trombone.
Some of the leading trombonists, will prefer this model, completely free-blowing and very light weight.
