The Ultimate Orchestral Style
Trombone Has Arrived
The rumors were floating around for years: there
was a great ‘heavy-style’ trombone available in
Japan, and in Japan only. The only ones who had
ever seen it were musicians touring in Japan. It
was called the Xeno and a lot of those players
really liked it. They liked it so much, in fact,
that they kept asking, “why not offer it outside
Japan?” But we weren’t ready—the Xeno wasn’t ready;
we were still working on it, perfecting it day by
day.
But now it's ready! Now the Xeno is being offered
to the world.
The Xeno features heavier gauge
brass and a thick-walled, one-piece brazed bell
which has been hand-hammered thousands of times for
the ultimate in a big orchestral sound. The
open-wrap F section gives a free-blowing response
and the entire instrument has an evenness and
balance you have to experience to believe. The tone
is flexible with myriad tonal colors, and gives you
both powerful projection at fortissimo and subtle
control in the most delicate passages. This may
well be the most expressive orchestral style
trombone ever created.
Sullivan Signature Mouthpiece
Principal trombone of the Pittsburgh Symphony,
Peter Sullivan was one of the primary design
consultants behind the Xeno trombones (along with
Alain Trudel and Thomas Horch). The Sullivan
signature mouthpiece is perfectly suited for use
with the Xeno, and is included with every case.
