SLOKAR MODEL
The SLOKAR sackbuts, which have been developed together with Branimir Slokar and his Quartett, are designed to enable an easy and frequent change from the modern to the historical instrument. The shape of the bells and the diameters of the tubes are authentic at the essential points. The concept, however, has been altered so that the 3rd slide position corresponds now with the bell rim, as is usual for modern trombones.
