FEATURED PRODUCTS
QUALITY STANDARDS
Being a professional trombonist myself, I have certain requirements in an instrument. It has to sound great, work fine and be in a good condition. Great looks don’t hurt, either.
That’s why all ELBBLECH instruments go through the brass workshop.
The slides have been cleaned and realigned, any damages have been fixed. In our ads every little damage is documented.Every single instrument has been played by myself.
Besides that you’ll receive a 2 years warranty and a 30-day return policy. If you are unhappy with the instrument, you can send it back without further reason.
Shipping and return shipping is free within germany.
IDEA
The idea of ELBBLECH is very simple. I wanted to feel like a kid in a candy store and have all the beautiful trombones in one room.
Do you know how one of the biggest brass shops in New York City must have looked like in the 1960’s ? I don’t know, but I imagine that all the treasures of trombone history were lined up next to each other. That’s what I am trying to recreate.
SUSTAINABILITY & FAIRNESS
I like to not only to treat my customers well, but also my affiliates and nature.
That’s why I have a couple of principles for ELBBLECH:
All work that’s done on my instruments is done by local brassworkshops. This helps to make sure everybody is paid and treated well and the work is done in a highly professional matter.
All shipping is fulfilled by DHL. DHL pays it’s employees the best loans and is a fast, secure and reliable partner. The shipments are part of the “GOGREEN”-program, which means that they are carbon-neutral.
All padding inside the shipment boxes is 100% recycled or 100% recyclable
ELBBLECH is participating in a program called “Interseroh” to improve recycling-rates in germany.
