Yesterday we went through our band's instrument vault (a local music school was pleading for unused instruments), and we found some really interesting things, things I didn't know they existed.
I knew of Reynolds brass (uncommon here), smelled the odd greenish Noblet hard rubber clarinet, saw a lot of silver-plated no-name no-serialnumber saxes, we found about four Besson Eb horns in that course, but in the far corner we stumbled over a Henri Selmer Paris ... trombone. (serial twentysomething, aka "2x")
Didn't know Hank S. was into bones, but apparently he was. Anyone in here with some background about H.S. trombones?
BTW I'm now the band's official instrument caretaker. What a career! :smile:
