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 set of trombones (alto, tenor and two bass trombones) from the 1920s by Franz Kuhn. At the same time, the musicians are studying the historical-romantic style of playing, especially on the basis of notes and copies from the estate of Paul Weschke (1867-1940). All members play regularly on historical trombones of different eras with renowned ensembles such as Le Cercle de l'Harmonie, Capella de la Torre, Capella Cracoviensis, Lautten Compagney, Oltremontano or Le Concert Olympique.
