LÄTZSCH CUSTOM BRASS

Most trombone players in the world appreciate
Lätzsch instruments for their broad sound
spectrum, excellent intonation and first class
quality construction.

The ‘Lätzsch company’, founded in 1949, is a

genuine development laboratory for instruments.

Under the leadership of former owner,

Herbert Lätzsch, the classical German Trombone
(the instrument made famous by Alschausky and
now known as the Modell Kuhn), a new Bb/F
Bass trombone and a Contrabass trombone were
created.

In 1979, shortly after his masters exam,

Hans-Hermann Nienaber succeeded his uncle,
Herbert Lätzsch.

With this new enthusiastic leadership there has

been an increase in new developments.

Since he took office the most important

new development has been the new Lätzsch
‘Full Flow®’ valves for the complete new trumpet
series, the Bb/F bass trombones, the Lätzsch-
Cimbasso in F, the C bass trumpet, the American
model Bass and Tenor trombones and a complete
original series of mouthpieces.

Lätzsch mouthpieces are worldwide renowned

for their perfect balance of sound and extreme
accuracy. Special attention and care has been
spent on the development of the new
‘Zoltan Kiss Edition’ mouthpiece.
