"First played by recording artist Maynard Ferguson, the
Holton MF Superbone could be described as the ultimate trombone.
Also called the double trombone, the TR395 combines all of
the characteristics of a slide trombone with all of the advantages
of a valve trombone. Musicians may perform any slide/valve
combination accurately and smoothly, while eliminating excessive
hand movements. It allows special effects from any pitch to
any other pitch as well as vibrato on any other pitch. The
TR395 Superbone is free-blowing throughout its diversified
system. Uniquely Holton"
