John Packer 'JP135' Valve Trombone | Lacquer | New

The John Packer JP135 Bb Valve Trombone is designed for valve players who want the sound and role of a trombone without needing to learn slide positions. It is especially useful for trumpet players, baritone/euphonium players, and pit musicians who need a compact trombone option in tight playing spaces. The JP135 features a 12.30 mm bore, an 8" bell, and nickel silver valves, giving it a practical setup for players who already feel comfortable with valve fingerings.

This is a great choice for trumpet teachers working with trombone students, valve players doubling in jazz band or pit orchestra, or anyone looking for a fun and accessible addition to their brass collection. It offers the character of a trombone in a more familiar valve-based layout, making it a handy crossover instrument for lessons, doubling, and performance situations where space or slide technique may be a challenge.

New John Packer instruments include a 2-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the original date of purchase. Warranty claims require proof of purchase and are subject to normal exclusions, including wear and tear, abuse, mishandling, cosmetic/finish issues, and unauthorized repair work.
