Try a King. They are all generally good including the student models but get the slide set up before you start. Conn professional models are good, student models are so so. Yamaha student models rot if they are not intensely scrutinised, poor metal and too light. The pro models have better metal but are still made in Indonesia! Custom models are great. Jupiter have an interesting design for small hands but you get what you pay for. Bach Strad's are inconsistent but great if you geta good one. Holton aren't bad as student horns.

Besson's are heavier than American horns and come in International or Sovereign models and are available for whatever you are willing to spend.

The creme de la creme are very definitely Selmer Paris. I dont play but I repair a substantial number of trombones. I do repairs for all the local pro players and my partner is a trombonist, King addict, so I have something to offer.
