With the help of the brilliant trombone maker <strong>Josef Gopp</strong>, I managed to do this.</p> <p>The result is the Casimir-Alto, which has been my absolute favorite trombone ever since!</p> <p>The development of the trombone was supported by the "Mécénat Groupe BALAS" foundation fund. Therefore I would like to express my gratitude once again!</p> <p>I also occasionally play my large-bore Bb tenor trombone by <strong>Pierre Hulot</strong>, which I helped develop, and a medium-bore Bb tenor trombone by Olds, the Recording R20. The latter was considered a bass trombone when it was built! <br class='autobr' /> How times change!</p></div>
