Buying a Rath Trombone is an investment not just financially but emotionally too!
Many professional trombonists have long held ambitions to own a Rath and for them it is the pinnacle of their career. It is an investment in their work enabling them to play at the very top of the their profession. It’s no wonder that a Rath is highly prized and played by lead trombonists in most of the world’s premier orchestras.

People who play their trombone for pleasure view it as the ultimate if they can play a Rath in their spare time. Being able to play a customised musical instrument so they truly enjoy their non day job adds to the pleasure. We have had people come to our Honley factory to buy Raths as retirement gifts, when a pension policy has matured or simply if they earn a bonus.

But if you think you take it personally then so do I. Since we started making customised trombones 20 years ago my ambition has been to make sure that every single musician, professional or not, who invests in a Rath Trombone gets the instrument they want and expect.
