An original design F Contrabass trombone designed by Chuck Nickles which comes with two sets of valve slide for one valve to be D or C, and the other Db or BBb
The PF588 brings the unmistakable presence of an F contrabass trombone into a form that feels both commanding and surprisingly playable.
It produces a cavernous, resonant tone; the kind of deep, atmospheric sound that underpins orchestral textures and adds real power to film, theatre and contemporary ensemble writing.
Despite its size, the PF588 is reassuringly responsive - the slide feels balanced rather than cumbersome, making it possible to articulate low-register passages with precision and musicality.
As you move across the instrument, the tuning remains steady and predictable, helping players focus on colour and phrasing rather than wrestling with intonation.
Interest in contrabass trombones - especially the F contrabass trombone - is rising rapidly, and the PF588 is built to meet that growing demand. It’s an instrument for bass trombonists expanding their palette, professionals needing reliable low-brass depth, or anyone seeking that unique, resonant voice only a contrabass trombone can deliver.
