Excellent Alto for a small price
I have had the Thomann SL-35 for a week now and have already used it for a symphonic concert. I bought it as a spare alto while my current alto is in for repairs. I was really impressed by the sound and intonation of this Alto. My main alto is the Kühnl & Hoyer Slokar Eb- Alto Trombone 175.
The SL-35 by Thomann appears to be a copy of the slokar alto trombone and a very good copy at that!! I found the sound and intonation to be very similar with almost no learning curve!
I did not use the mouthpiece that came with the instrument as this felt a bit strange and affected the intonation. I used a regular bach 12c. The case is lightweight and not bulky.
I would firmly recommend and have recommended buying this alto for students, advanced students and even professionals on a budget!

A remarkable little trombone!
I'd been toying with the idea of an alto trombone for a while, but didn't want to spend silly money on a pro one for the occasional alto blow. This had such good reviews I thought I'd invest. Glad I did! It's a great little hooter.
Comes in a lovely lightweight case with pockets and backpack straps, and has a mouthpiece (12ish sort of size) and lubricant included.
It's immaculately finished and the slide is great!
I usually play Conn or Rath professional tenor trombones and I'm really impressed with the quality and tone of this!

Great, Cheap Horn
I didn't expect much with this, but it is a fantastic little horn. I have been a professional trombone player for years, and thought it time I learned alto. In the old days you couldn't get an affordable Eb to learn on, but this makes it practically mandatory.
