ZO Bb Baritone ZBH-5500

A 3+1 ZO baritone with a main tuning slide trigger

The ZO ZBH-5500 Bb Baritone is an intermediate-level instrument designed for players looking for a complete and practical setup for progressing in wind bands, conservatoire study and brass ensembles. Its 3+1 design provides a familiar baritone layout and allows the four pistons to be operated comfortably.

One of the main distinguishing features of this model is its main tuning slide trigger. This mechanism allows the player to move the main tuning slide during performance and make small adjustments when required without interrupting the musical phrase.

The ZBH-5500 uses three main pistons and a fourth side-mounted piston, all manufactured from stainless steel. This material provides a durable solution for a mechanism that is operated continuously during regular playing.

Its 0.503-inch bore, approximately 12.78 mm, is combined with a 9-inch bell measuring approximately 229 mm. These proportions create a balanced baritone configuration intended to provide comfortable airflow and a suitable tonal foundation for ensemble performance.

The body is made from brass and finished in lacquer, maintaining the traditional appearance associated with brass instruments. The ZBH-5500 is also supplied with a mouthpiece and high-grade canvas case, providing the essential accessories for storage and transportation.
