Large bore trombone. The classic euphonium model, also good for powerful trombonists.

Heavytop models use a completely different principle in not feeding back to the player the vibration of the instrument, transmitting all the energy through the bell. This gives a much more powerful sound when needed, more security in the high register and more control and focus in all registers.
