Michael Rath Collaboration - JP Musical Instruments

Designed in England - Played the world over

From orchestras and opera houses, Broadway to the West End, film and television studios, to pop and commercial groups, brass bands, wind bands, jazz, big bands, funk groups, and so many other genres and ensembles, instruments made by Michael Rath are found in almost every conceivable musical situation requiring a trombone.

Widely acknowledged as being amongst the best instruments available, many of the world's leading performers choose to play a Michael Rath trombone. Artists such as Mark Nightingale, David Gibson, Bert Boeren, Marc Godfroid, Dennis Rollins (pictured), Michael Dease, Csaba Wagner, Brett Baker, the Black Dyke Band and many others play a Rath trombone simply because they believe it's the best instrument for them.

A collaboration in design

Working together and sharing skills and experiences, the JP Rath range of instruments represent the perfect balance between Rath components and craftsmanship blended together with the high value to performance ratio associated with JP Musical Instruments.

Although priced at a student level, JP Rath instruments offer much more than student level performance and are unparalleled in the performance that they offer the player. The JP231 RATH Bb Tenor Trombone was selected by Carol Jarvis in 2009 who played it during the European tour of Seal.

All JP Rath instruments feature an exclusively designed Rath leadpipe personally developed with Michael and are manufactured in the same location to ensure the highest level of finish.
