Chinese Military trombones

[Dickie]

I was watching a news clip of the Chinese World War II Victory parade and caught a quick glimpse of the band playing. Extraordinary playing by the way. I was wondering whether anyone knew what brand instruments they play?

I would agree that the Chinese pros are fantastic. Probably the fastest, largest growing group of awesome players that no one is talking about.

With roughly 20% of the world's population, that's a whole lot of people who might be good at practically anything, even trombone playing!

Do you have links to videos with examples of their playing?

There was a long time in the West where we pooh-poohed Asian classical musicians as having great technical facility, but little musicality in their playing, like they were just robots going through the motions, it always struck me as so many sour grapes: If you want to be better, work harder.
