Courtois Paris

Post by Druidman »

Has anybody has any experience with the Courtois creation Paris model? I've seen it played nowhere, but I am curious about that Ikon valve since it looks like B&S trombones are using them too.

Thanks!

Buffet company owns Courtois, their high-end trombones are built in the B&S factory, and therefore use the same valve (and more parts).

I tried one out last summer. Super easy to play, great response throughout. Definitely a slightly brighter sound than the New York model (which I preferred, overall), but a very solid horn nonetheless.
