Many children are fascinated by the trombone. It has a strong and
pleasing tone which can slide smoothly from note to note, and
it's visually exciting—-it looks fun! But unlike most other
instruments, most trombones cannot be played by small children.
Modern trombones were designed for adults, and many would-be
beginners just can't stretch their arms far enough to play all
the slide positions. That's why we created the Yamaha 350C. This
is a full-sized trombone, using the traditional slide positions,
but it's much shorter in length. With its ascending valve, you
can play a full scale without using the two farthest positions!
