Bart van Lier about the Bb-Tenor Trombone “.500”: “The 0.500 bore (medium bore) tenor trombone is the most popular bell diameter since the fifties. For some trombone players, a small bore instrument does not give enough freedom to express themselves. However, the medium bore Bart van Lier “.500” of Kühnl & Hoyer is attractive for every tenor trombone player. The tone of this instrument is a good mixture of roundness, warmth and brightness. Because of the light resistance, this instrument is also suitable for beginners. I am so enthusiastic about this trombone that I have also absorbed this model, next to the small bore “Bart van Lier”-trombone, in my professional playing.”
