Comments about Giardinelli GTB-897 Black Nickel Series Trombone:
I bought this 'bone 6 months ago for my son in middle school. Got it when it was on sale; good deal. The look is unique, but not too flashy to stand out too much in a crowded band. We play together during practice and recitals and the sound blends very well with my Yamaha 640. The quality seems quite good for a Chinese made model, although the finish plating seems a bit thin; time will tell. Slide action is very good with cream, Trombotine, or Slide-o-Mix. Not especially lightweight, but seems durable. I modified the case a slight bit to hold the bell section more secure. My son is very happy with it and I expect he'll use it well into high school.

Comments about Giardinelli GTB-897 Black Nickel Series Trombone:
Pros: Great looking horn, light weight, a very nice bright sound.
Cons: I didn't like the mouthpiece that came with the horn,but it is ok for a beginner player.
I recently purchased the Giardinelli Black Lacquered Nickel trombone (I was intrigued by its looks). I am well pleased with it. I purchased it at a bargin price I mainly play this horn at church. I have recieve many compliments on its sound. My wife says it has a bright tone as opposed to my King 5B. I switched to a Schilke 47b mouthpiece for those high notes, but I am considering a Schilke 46 that I tried before. I love the sound that this horm produces. However, it seems to take a while to warm up unlike my King 5B. The slide action is not what I expected, but maybe I will switch to a slide cream instead of an oil. This is a great little horn. A very nice sound in the upper register as well in the mid to low register. The mouthpiece that comes with the trombone is ok for a beginner, but all you experienced players out there, you will want to upgrade.
Comments about Giardinelli GTB-897 Black Nickel Series Trombone:
To be honest, the look of this horn was my original motivator over others. And I didn't have a huge budget for some of the more well known models. But after 6 months I couldn't be more pleased with the performance.
My F attachment dual bore (.525/.547) tenor is great for concert band and brass quintets. But it was exhausting trying to screech out the high notes on most latin jazz/big band songs.
This horn has a nice rich voice throughout all octaves. And I can put in a small (17C) mouthpiece and play 3-4 bars above staff with ease.
Pros: Nice bend below the tuning slide for neck comfort, smooth slide (including tuning slide), great look/sound/feel, well padded case with 3 different storage compartments and carrying options.
Cons: Nicks show up more in the dark finish, have to really crank to tighten the slide on or it slips while playing, case storage isn't big enough for a stand.
To counteract the scratches I put a guard on the end of the slide and a leather wrap for my left hand. I also got a stand that folds up into the bell.
Overall, I think this horn is a screaming deal. I wasn't sure about getting the first trombone Giardinelli made (I could be wrong on this). It could have been a dud, or start a trend. Considering how many comments I get from other bone players, I made the right choice.
