New from Kanstul is a custom bass trombone that will be a hit with Bach players. Based on the Bach 50 style bell taper, this more traditional bell-tuning bass trombone has authentic Ed Thayer axial flow valves in the in-line setup. Open wrap valve tuning is pitched in Bb/F/Gb/D. Slide is yellow brass, with a wide brass end crook and lightweight nickel over sleeves for faster action. Bell is yellow brass, lightweight bronze, or rose brass, 9.5" with soldered rim. Three removable leadpipes are included. Also includes a hard case and mouthpiece. Call for availability. This is an excellent alternative to the Bach 50T3, but with cleaner assembly, more options, tighter fitting valves, and a better price.  These can be hard to get, due to the scarcity of valves, and that they are built to order.  We try to have several options in stock.  $4335
