Pro Tenor Trombone from the Rath Workshop
The Rath R400 brings the revered Rath sound and build philosophy to a player-friendly, large-bore (.547") tenor designed for growth. Centered and colorful, the R400 offers easy articulation and an inviting low register, with enough breadth to sit comfortably in a section and enough focus to carry a solo line. Resistance feels balanced, supportive for developing players yet open enough for advanced performers who want flexibility. Attention to fit and finish inspires confidence, and the horn’s even scale helps intonation settle quickly. From concert band and wind ensemble to orchestral rep and recital literature, the R400 adapts smoothly to your musical week. If you’re ready for a dependable step-up instrument that rewards good fundamentals, this model delivers performance well beyond its price.
