Holton 181 Bass
Trombone
"The Holton
181 bass trombone has the reputation of having established
the true bass trombone sound.
The red brass bell
of the Holton 181 bass trombone has been styled to maintain
a consistent, warm timbre at low and high dynamic levels.
The unique G/Gb
attachment can be reconfigured to the player’s taste

The bore design
assures proper reinforcement of the lower partials.
