Edwards Instruments

Our longstanding relationship with Edwards Instruments and their Director of Development, Christan Greigo, has been both meaningful and transformative. As members of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, we perform exclusively on Edwards trombones. While some of us have explored other makers over the years, we ultimately returned to Edwards—drawn by their exceptional craftsmanship and Christan’s unmatched expertise. His deep understanding of trombone design, from mouthpiece to water key, and his ability to tailor each instrument to the individual player while achieving a cohesive section sound, is truly unparalleled. These instruments provide the clarity and versatility essential for our diverse repertoire, blending seamlessly across both orchestra and quartet settings—from Brahms to Aretha Franklin. We couldn’t be more proud to play these horns—or more grateful to work with Christan.
