Fine-tuned for Sonic Excellence
XO designs each of its instruments with the professional musician in mind. The 1632GL-LT trombone is no exception, with robust features dedicated performers need to get the most out of themselves. For starters, the yellow brass bell and gooseneck deliver a well-balanced tone that slots cleanly into the mix. The bell provides an open feel and resistance-free playing experience, thanks to design input from noted trombonist John Fedchock — a mainstay among New York’s jazz scene. This horn has a 0.500-inch bore for plenty of breath support and a brighter fundamental. Players around Sweetwater appreciate the expertly fit nickel-silver outer slide’s feather-like weight and speedy action. The 1632GL-LT also includes a removable counterweight system, which allows the player to fine-tune the horn’s balance.

Designed in collaboration with John Fedchock
An all-star jazz trombonist and composer, John Fedchock collaborated closely with XO to design the 1632’s bell. The lightweight, yellow brass design delivers a well-balanced sound that fits into any arrangement. John specified a 7.5-inch bell diameter for a comfortable playing experience. What’s more, the bell size imbues the tone with textured harmonics. If you’re on the hunt for a responsive horn with a balanced sound, the XO 1632GL-LT deserves a serious audition.
Lightweight outer slide for lightning-fast action
The team at XO developed an ultra-lightweight outer slide that delivers everything a top-level player needs. Once you assemble the horn, you’ll be rewarded with a quick and accurate feel. The hand-fit slide assembly responds to your slightest touch, which is a must-have for lead playing. And since the slide is made of nickel silver, it lends a bright and vibrant quality to the tone. With its responsive slide, the 1632GL-LT will quickly become your go-to horn for gigging out.
