30-day Returns
Here's a very nice Rath R4F tenor trombone! It's in pretty incredible condition and a great deal if you're looking for a new orchestral tenor.
The rose brass bell and hand slide push the sound somewhere warmer and darker — there's more weight in the middle of the tone, the edges are a little softer. The nickel silver crook adds just enough brightness to keep things focused without undoing what the rose brass is doing elsewhere. It's a good balance - I'd have no problem playing this in a brass band or wind band, it works in either ensembles. The red brass probably gets a little screamy for orchestra, but maybe it works in that context too.
The Rotax valve is solid and reliable, and this horn has barely been played. The slide is pristine, the lacquer is clean, and it plays like new. Whoever owned this before me took very good care of it.

New trombones come with a case - of course.
Used trombones most often times not. Shipping without a case is safer and cheaper. But if you need a case, I can see if I have a suitable case for your trombone.
