The JP236 alto trombone serves as an excellent entry point for orchestral musicians venturing into the realm of alto trombone playing. While some may consider it an ideal starter model to familiarize players with all 7 trombone slide positions, it's recommended to consult with a teacher before selecting this trombone as a beginner instrument, given its key of Eb.

Its design reflects a commitment to providing aspiring musicians with a quality instrument that facilitates skill development and exploration within the orchestral setting.
