Berkeley Soprano Trombone / Piccolo Trombone / Mini Trombone / Slide Trumpet – Precision Craftsmanship, Jazz-Ready Versatility
The Berkeley Soprano Trombone—also known as a Piccolo Trombone, Mini Trombone, or Slide Trumpet—is a rare and expressive instrument pitched exactly one octave above the tenor trombone. Combining the bright brilliance of a trumpet with the nuanced slide technique of a trombone, it’s an inspired choice for jazz soloists, chamber musicians, and performers exploring the Moravian trombone tradition.
Built with a .430"–.450" dual bore slide and a 5.1" yellow brass bell (130mm), this compact horn delivers a focused, penetrating tone that stays warm and centered across its range. The nickel-silver outer slide ensures smooth, responsive action—even in the most intricate passages.
