The Franz Kuhn Trombone Quartet was founded by Juan González Martínez and consists of specialists in historical trombone instruments. The quartet has at its disposal a complete, original set of trombones (alto, tenor, and two bass trombones) from the 1920s by Franz Kuhn. At the same time, the musicians are engaged in historical-romantic playing techniques, based in particular on sheet music and transcriptions from the estate of Paul Weschke (1867-1940). All members regularly play historical trombones from different eras with renowned ensembles such as Le Cercle de l'Harmonie, Capella de la Torre, Capella Cracoviensis, Lautten Compagney, Oltremontano, and Le Concert Olympique.
