Welcome to Kühnl & Hoyer U.S.
What distinguishes all master craftsman made trombones by Kuhnl & Hoyer:
Air tight, easy playing and above all noiseless valves, comfortable operating trigger and stable ball linkages are the top result of modern manufacturing techniques. The machine drawn slides are hand fit and tested for accuracy to ensure easy gliding in all positions. Hard-chrome-plated nickel silver inner slides promise a long lasting life.
All trombones have nickel-silver slide and are also available in open wrap
Branimir Slokar
Was born in Maribor in Slovenia where he got in touch with the trombone for the first time. He decided to dedicate his life to music when he won the first prize as a trombonist at the 7th Yugoslav music contest in Zagreb.
In 1969 he finished his sudies with excellent results at the Music Academy in Ljubjana and then he went to Paris to continue his studies at the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique. He had exceptional results as early as at the end of the first year of his sudies there. He won several prizes, among others he won the International ARD Music Competition in Munich.
As a soloist Branimir Slokar excelled with his musicality in well-known orchestras such as the Symponic Orchestra of the Bavarian Radio.
He is the professor of the Music academy in Freiburg am Breisgau and as well as in Bern. Besides his pedagogical work Branimir Sokar does exceptional work as a soloist, he performed in almost all of the countries in Europe, and also in the USA and in Asia. Due to his numerous CD-recordings, his radio and TV-programmes, he, the exceptional representative and supporter of trombone-playing won an acknowledgement all over the world and he got invitations to the juries of the international competitions in Munich and Geneva.

Professional- Gold Lacquer Trombonist Bart van Lier's evaluation of the Kuhnl & Hoyer Bb-Tenor Trombone ,,Model Bart van Lier":
"After a long period of development and testing together with me, Kuhnl & Hoyer has introduced an excellent trombone to the market, which is especially suited for Jazz, pop, salsa and big band and other musical forms, which have pronounced rhythm section. My own experience is that the drummer's cymbals can dampen the overtones of brass instruments. The trombone is particularly difficult to hear under these circumstances. That's why we have developed this instrument with a brighter tone than other trombones of the same size. The conical bore of the slide, in combination with the small bell, gives a compact tone. The bell, tuning slide, conical neckpiece and the lead pipe are made of a specially processed metal which produced extra warmth in the sound. This effect can be augmented by the use of a silver lead pipe. To broaden the tone, it is possible to substitute a larger bell. Double bore- .480 in. (12.2mm)/.488 in. (12.4mm), brass, encl. nickel-silver slide
Excellent for Jazz, Pop, Salsa and Bigband.
In connection with Bart van Lier, solo trombonist of the Metropole-Orchestra, permanent member of the Peter Herbolzheimer Big Band", Band Leader of the Bart's Bones", participated in International Trombone Association Workshops" in the USA and England and instructor for trombone at the Conservatories in Hilversum and Rotterdam (Netherlands), we have developed the Bb-Tenor Trombone ,,Bart van Lier" and Bart van Lier .500".
Dynamic contrast and good tone response are particularly to achieve on this instrument."

"The medium bore tenor trombone is the most popular bell-diameter since the nineteen fifties, for some trombone players, a small bore instrument does not give enough freedom to express themselves. The medium bore "Bart van Lier .500" from Kuhnl & Hoyer however, will be attractive for every tenor trombone player.
The tone of this instrument is a good mixture of roundness, warmth and brightness. Because of the light resistance, beginners will feel comfortable with this trombone right away. I like this trombone so much that i will use it in my professional playing together with my small bore instrument.
