Why Hagmann valves on a bass trombone?
Hagmann valves provide a particularly open airflow. On the bass trombone in particular, where a great deal is played in the valve register, response and sound therefore remain remarkably homogeneous.
Is the Pollux also suitable for big band?
Yes. Thanks to its clear response and powerful projection, the Pollux cuts through even dense big band writing effortlessly – without losing any of its refinement in piano passages.
