The Holton TR181 inline independent double rotor bass trombone is reputed to have established the true bass trombone sound, and is ideal for both symphonic and solo performance.

Its ten-inch red brass bell is styled to maintain a consistent, warm timbre across the dynamic range. The unique G/G-flat attachment can be reconfigured to the player's taste for setting up low C and B-natural.

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.
