Student-Level Trombones

Starting a musical journey with a reliable, quality instrument is the key to a successful experience. Meyer Music offers brand-name student level trombones as rent-to-own, matching teacher preferences with accessories included.

Step-Up Trombones

As a player progresses, their instrument should match their growing skills. A student level trombone is a great way to start a musical journey and a Step-Up trombone will take a player even further.

Meyer Music offers an array of high-end brass brands, including Yamaha, Bach, Conn, Jupiter and Eastman.  As Michigan’s only Shokunin Yamaha dealer, their premier level, we also provide access to a wide range of advanced Yamaha options.

What’s the difference?

ConstructionMaterialsFeatures
Student Trombones have a smaller bore and bell, making them easier for beginners to play.


Step-Up Trombones feature a larger bell and bore for a fuller sound.

Student Trombones are made of metals designed for durability and affordability.


Step-Up Trombones are available in gold brass for a slightly darker sound or rose brass for a mellow tone.

Student Trombones include all standard components for solid and reliable performance.


Step-Up Trombones feature an F-attachment: a trigger-activated valve and extra tubing that extends the low register and provides an alternate way to reach difficult slide positions.
