The JP236 Rath Eb Alto Trombone serves as an excellent introduction to the world of alto trombone playing, particularly suitable for orchestral musicians. While some may advocate it as a starter model for training players in all seven trombone slide positions, caution is advised, and consultation with a teacher is recommended before choosing this instrument for beginners due to its key of Eb.
