The independent rotor version of the Conn 62H ‘Symphony’ bass trombone. Ideal for both symphonic and solo performance, and extremely popular with big band musicians.
Along with a larger bore and bell diameter, bass trombones are often equipped with a second rotor to extend their low register. There are two double-rotor systems: ‘independent’ and ‘dependent’. An independent system has both rotors sitting side-by-side (or ‘inline’) on the neck-pipe, where they can function alone or in tandem. Dependent models locate the second rotor on the F attachment rather than the neck-pipe, hence the alternative descriptors ‘stacked’ or ‘offset’. In this configuration, use of the second rotor depends on the first rotor being simultaneously engaged.
