The Paseo W6 from the BAC Handcraft Series offers a refined take on a classic studio sound, blending vintage tonal ideals with modern precision. Crafted by Best American Craftsman, this model builds upon the proven design of the original Paseo while introducing a bell profile inspired by the legendary Los Angeles studio trombones of the 1950s and 1960s.

At its core is a one-piece, lightweight yellow brass bell, designed for immediacy and clarity of response. This construction delivers a bright, clear tone that projects effortlessly while maintaining musical warmth at softer dynamics. The result is a versatile voice that can remain delicate and mellow when needed, yet easily “lights up” with a lively, zippy response as intensity increases.

The Paseo W6 shares the same highly regarded slide and leadpipe configuration as the Paseo model. The .500/.508 dual bore slide enhances overall efficiency without sacrificing projection, offering a balanced feel that supports both agility and stability. Its lightweight yellow brass construction, paired with carefully selected material combinations, ensures smooth, responsive action ideal for extended playing sessions.

Complementing this setup, the W6 leadpipe provides a focused, warm core to the sound while allowing effortless flexibility across all registers. This synergy between slide and leadpipe gives players the freedom to shape phrases with precision and ease.

Designed with versatility in mind, the Paseo W6 excels in section playing while maintaining the color and character needed for solo work. Its tonal profile carries with clarity and definition, making it equally at home in ensemble settings, studio environments, or featured performance roles.

The Paseo W6 is a modern tribute to a timeless sound—built for players who demand clarity, responsiveness, and musical flexibility in every setting.
