The JP232 is John Packer's double in-line (independent) rotor bass trombone and this instrument has been very successful as a step up model in the semi professional market. For a mid range bass trombone, the JP232 is beautifully balanced with the in-line rotors and being very similar to an open wrap trombone, it blows very freely and open. The JP232 is a wonderful instrument for an intermediate player looking to move into the world of bass trombone playing, or for a more experienced player looking for an inexpensive trombone.
