@administrator said in Doubling on alto trombone:
Which reminds me....Maynard had some kind of frankenhorn with both a slide and valves. Anybody remember what this thing was called?
It was a “FireBird”, Holton ST303. You can buy one from Gamin Brass on eBay for $14,000, or Berkley Winds, a Chinese brand, makes a facsimile that on eBay for $1250. A friend of mine has the Berkley model but pointed out to me that it’s trombone slide was also the tuning slide, therefore not very practical.
For sale is a Schlub Brassworks Top Action Rotary Valve Bb Flugelhorn finished in clear lacquer and engraved. It includes two mouth pipes, a Wolfpack Case, and both a Warburton 2FL G, and a Warburton 2FL B mouthpiece. I am the original owner. It has minimal playing time and is in mint condition. In Raw Brass a new Schlub Brassworks Flugelhorn costs $4500. Lacquer, engraving, case and mouthpieces brings the brand new cost to at least $6500. This instrument, including the above is offered at $4,000. This advertisement will be removed on January 16, 2025. If you have any questions, I can be reached at 305 664-7296 or at SSmith1226@aol.com

For sale is a Custom Adams A4-LT, with a ML Bore, Shepherd’s Crook, Sterling Silver Bell, Saturn Water Keys, green inlays, and Adams Gard Bag.
New, this trumpet would cost around $5,900 plus tax and shipping. Tax in my community on a new horn would add an additional $385 and insured shipping, approximately $150. Thus this horn new might cost more than $6300. This horn is in immaculate condition, very lightly used, and with no cosmetic or functional issues. It is being offered for $3950 which includes shipping within the continental United States. I will keep this horn available for sale until January 16. At that point the listing will be removed.

@Anthony-Lenzo I want to be very clear that I am not assuming that your technician made a mistake or was not good! Sometimes there is dirt and damage that the technician can only compensate for. I make a huge difference between repair or restore. Restoration is usually far more costly in terms of time and effort.

Wow you are selling a lot of stuff - your health ok? Praying...
Thank you for your concern and prayers! My health is fine. My collection, however, is much larger than my capacity to play all the instruments, and most of these wonderful instruments are sitting in closets collecting dust. There are more listings to come since these initial four are just the “tip of the iceberg”!
