some days you're the windshield, some days you're the bug.  i was the bug on this purchase.  antique valve trombone. made in France.  key of "C".  not exactly sure what to call this.  alto trombone? soprano trombone?  from the pictures when i bought it, i stupidly assumed it was a full size tenor trombone in "B" flat.  bell is only 5 1/2" across.  mouthpiece receiver size is between standard shank trombone and trumpet. correct size mouthpiece included, also made in France. Horn is playable, all valves and slides free, but a good cleaning and lubrication is necessary.  Bell damaged, dented, poorly repaired with solder only.  should be patched correctly. i paid $325.00 including shipping from Germany.  I have no use for this, so am trying to re-coup a fraction of the money i spent.  as described, as-is, no returns.  Check pictures before bidding.
