B&S Eb alto
|
Small bore Eb alto trombone, made in Germany, with gold brass bell,
nickel slide. Good player in mint condition, but not completely
centered in the very low range. Pitch is decent, traditional
smaller sound. Includes mouthpiece, but this really should use a
smaller shank mouthpiece like the old Conns and Olds. We don't
have one, but I'll try to dig up something before sale. Includes
hard case.

Massachusetts shop. Several bell options will be available,

branch is yellow brass, and the tuning is in the slide. Nice.
The Word: This is the nicest alto we've played, and it's worth
the money. Sold without case or mouthpiece. Includes 3
removable leadpipes. This one is sure to be in demand for the
alto aficionados - call to get on the waiting list.

Wonderful instrument handmade by Jurgen Voight in Germany. This alto is
made using traditional European manufacturing techniques and retains
many of the beautiful playing qualities of German trombones with the
modern response and intonation needed for professional playing. The

garland. The slide is a wide nickel silver alloy. German snake
decorations adorn both the tuning slide and slide crook. Includes a

COMING SOON Glassl |
Eb alto |
From Nauheim, Germany comes the rare and famous Glassl alto trombone.
Regarded as one of the finest altos ever made, you've heard them
played by Mark Lawrence of the San Francisco Symphony and other
discerning players. Herr Glassl has retired and has sold his
company and tooling to Adams in Holland. Adams may again offer
the alto. We shall see. In the mean time, we arranged to
purchase Glassl's remaining stock of trombones. We have one
left. This is the last Glassl alto trombone, and it's a
beauty. It's made of solid Sterling silver with some gold
trim, same as below but without snake ornamentation. Includes
custom gig bag with a fully rigid slide compartment.
Update: We will have 3 new Glassl altos made by Herr Glassl
himself on 3/18/08. One is sold, details on the two others
will be posted when they arrive.

122 Eb |
Beautiful German Eb alto with gold brass bell, nickel slide. This
is one of our favorites at any price. Lighter than the Glassl,
more colorful sound than the Conn, flawless workmanship and sleek
design. This feels a bit smaller than the Slokar version, and for
me, easier to hit those pesky high Eb's. Excellent all around
alto, I think the best on the market at this price. Beware,
this is the last of this model available, ever. K&H has
changed the design for future production, and the price is slated to
go up on the next run of these, due to the (cosmetic)
improvements and the fall of the US dollar.

The Williams 6 recreated, .500" lightweight
nickel slide, distinctive Hollywood style bracing and tuning slide,
8" yellow brass bell, 2 removable threaded leadpipes with Shires
style threads, several bell and slide options. Big present sound
with amazing color and versatility. The range on this horn is
fantastic in all registers and responds to exactly what you do. I
was surprised at the little amount of work I had to do to get this
trombone to sound amazing. The prototype sold right away to a very
happy buyer. This is the best copy of a Williams trombone to date,
using modern technology Zig was able to recreate the tapers to exact
standards. The result, one of the best jazz trombones on the market.
Bells available in .020" or .025" brass, nickel or brass slide
tubes. The Williams model has that classic 1970's Los Angeles studio
sound. For you old-schoolers out there, this is the trombone for
you.

trombonists Bill Booth and
Tim Stone. The "SP" denomination on Conn trombones meant that
the instrument was a special order. This
horn features a .547" bronze slide with removable leadpipes, a bell
section with a bronze neckpipe, rose brass crook, and .020" bronze
8" bell. it's the all bronze/rose detail and the 8" bell that
makes this horn play with a gorgeous sound. We're also testing different weights
of slides. If you like a lightweight large tenor with a
compact sound, and vintage lineage, this may be your ticket to
heaven. A new leadpipe based on the original Conn 8HSP is now

411TA |
Hand built large tenor trombone from Willson Instruments in Geneva
Switzerland. Features a Swiss rotary valve. The oversized Rotax
rotary is precision machined to perfect tolerances, the larger
vented ports give this valve an even response on both the open and F
sides of the trombone and a open blowing characteristic. The valve
action is fast and with a short throw. It has an open wrap F
attachment. This model also has some unique options. The inner slide
tubes are plated with a titanium nitride coating giving the inner
slide tubes a golden appearance. The coating hardens the surface of
the inner tubes, giving a smoother surface non lubricated. With
lubrication the slides are top notch. This model also has a 8.5"
yellow brass bell flare. The outer slide is nickel silver with a
yellow brass end crook. An excellent playing professional trombone.

1688 |
If you've always wished Conn made a slide tuning 88H, here you
go. Brand new from Kanstul, a unique slide tuning large bore tenor
trombone with F attachment is sure to get some attention. It was
designed to give the player a warm, rich dark tone color combined
with the ease of playing of the classic Conn 88H's. It uses the new
CR (controlled resistance) rotary valve to balance both Bb and F
sides of the trombone. The open wrapped valve section alleviates
resistance in the valve register. The tuning mechanism in the slide
allows for a complete conical end bow which constantly expands
through to the end of the bell flare. This feature, along with the
minimal bell bracing allows the instrument to vibrate more freely
giving a noticeable difference in the timbre of the trombone. For
people looking for a tenor trombone with the warmest sound, and is
easy to play, be sure to check this model from Kanstul. This is one
of the easiest playing and most pleasing trombones we've seen in a
while. In stock, in bronze bell with solder in the rim. This
is the last one of the first production run. Future models will be
available by special order with deposit. I believe the new models will be priced at
about $3200.

COMING SOON Yamaha |
Xeno 882O |
New top of the line symphony horn from Yamaha is similar to a Bach 42,
but has a narrower Conn-width slide and much cleaner assembly.
For those of you who are looking for the response of a Conn with the
sound and focus of a Bach, consider this model. This is a well
thought out horn, and is the best Yamaha has ever produced.
Perfect workmanship throughout, beautiful sound, easy to play, even
throughout the range. Standard rotary valve, open wrap F
attachment, brass slide, one piece hand hammered 8.5" yellow brass
bell, .547" slide
Also available with gold brass bell, add $60

B Stock Bass Trombone bell, BII 1Y |
New B stock Shires bell flare, model BII 1Y. Has some minor lacquer

NEW Kanstul |
1585T |
A very rare
Kanstul professional model bass trombone. The model 1585CR is based on
the Bach 50. This horn features a one
piece 9.5" .020" yellow brass bell flare (soldered rim), inline
Ed Thayer axial flow valves with open wrap tubing, and a
.562" yellow brass slide with 3 leadpipes. It's a great player with a big wide sound. Pics coming soon.
Includes hard case. This was custom built for us by Zig
Kanstul himself, and has a slightly different valve orientation to
improve fit into the connector, and to improve linkage action.
Also, we added a new set of custom paddles which are adjustable, and
are much improved over the stock Thayer paddles. This horn is fast
responding and easy to play, but has a big broad symphony sound.
Thumbs up.

SPECIAL Willson |
511TA |
Hand built bass
trombone from Willson Instruments in Switzerland. Features double
inline Swiss rotary valves in Bb/F/Gb/D. The oversized Rotax rotary
is precision machined to perfect tolerances, the larger vented ports
give this valve an even response on both the open and valve sides
of the bass trombone and a open free blowing characteristic. The
valve action is fast and with a short throw. The valve sections are
open wrapped. These valves are great, and really help make this bass
trombone a stand out player. This trombone also has the unique
feature of titanium nitride coated inner slide tubes. The coating
makes the inner tubes harder and with a smoother surface. The inner
tubes are golden in color. The outer slide tubes are made from
nickel silver with a yellow brass end crook. The bell flare is 10"
yellow brass. This is a great playing professional bass trombone and
a great deal.

Pro Select Bass PSRG62 |
New bass trombone with inline rotary valves, gold brass bell, one
removable leadpipe, and hard case. It is handmade in Hopedale,
Massachusetts at the Shires custom shop. This horn has no
other options and its parts are not compatible with the modular
Shires Artist Custom line. Extra Shires leadpipes are
available at $110 each. This looks to be a very fine
instrument from one of the world's top makers, and might be the
right choice for buyers on a budget (if you can call $4000 a
"budget"), who aren't so picky about trying all the numerous
options available on the Shires Artist Custom line. |
