The Greenhoe GB5 is designed in the tradition of the full-bodied orchestral bass trombones of the mid to late 20th century. Featuring a one-piece bell with soldered rim, the GB5 offers a classic sound with tremendous projection, as well as a quick response and impeccable clarity.
Greenhoe historyGreenhoe trombones began in 2002 under the direction and design of Gary Greenhoe. Gary has been an instrumental part of high-quality trombone design for most of his 41 years as a professional trombonist with the Milwaukee Symphony. Gary’s patented Greenhoe valve system is at the center of every Greenhoe Trombone. Greenhoe Trombone designs represent a return to a classic sound with the highest quality.

Schilke uses state-of-the-art technology, combined with traditional old-world craftsmanship and expert assembly, to carry on Greenhoe designs.
