Customization and assembly

As a major element in the overall sound, the slide requires a comparative test between our creations and those offered by internationally renowned manufacturers (Bach, Courtois, to name but the best).

Claudio Maragno, our Master Craftsman, will dedicate his expertise at your disposal to suggest the best possible option. We attach great importance to these bespoke creations, which are both a challenge and a real added value for our workshop. Claudio will suggest the optimal combinations of valve, slide, bell, mechanical parts, and tuning slide, for bass trombone and symphonic tenor alike.

He will be available for you alone, because every musician is unique, and his perception will help guide the choice of the best suitable trombone, corresponding to the requirements of each instrumentalist.

Bells and slides

In our Geneva showroom, you’ll find a permanent selection of new instruments featuring our own design, mostly in the convertible “Vibrabell” version. This exclusive system of detachable, floating-fastening bells has met an international success, and has been adopted by many professional artists and well-informed amateurs alike, because excellence knows no boundaries.

We suggest you try out bells of several brands (Bach, Courtois, our own creations, etc.), different mechanical parts (wraps, 138,140, Dual Bore valves, choice of levers), as well as a choice of slides and tuning slides.

We are privileged to benefit from the close collaboration of the trombone section of the Suisse Romande Orchestra, professors at the Geneva Haute Ecole de Musique, and various conservatories. All these artists, musicians and teachers enable us to make the appropriate choices. They are our advisors, our consultants and, of course, our friends (see ambassadors link).

Transforming your trombone

Under the guidance of René Hagmann and Claudio Maragno, our Custom Shop transforms, improves, adapts, and restores trombones of all brands in an individualized way. Our wide variety of valve models, and our different levers and wraps will enable you, thanks to our expertise, to get the best.

We are also available for other services: maintenance, repair, restoration, varnishing with various finishes, plating, ergonomic and acoustic modifications, adaptation of other bells, or even extension to Eb. Our workshop also offers a wide selection of accessories: hand rests, levers, resonance rings, mouthpieces, mutes, cases, covers and more.

We remain at your disposal for a quotation and advice!
