Post #105,750 by admin 6/11/03 4:13:46 PM Reply	OT: brass instruments... I have a 50? 60? year old Olds trombone played by my late grandfather. "Octagon" slide. He was asked to play with Tommy Dorsey at one point... when I hear trombone like my grandfather played, I wish I had practiced more... Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."
Post #105,804 by Ashton 6/12/03 3:27:40 AM Reply	Oooohhh No slide trombone adept, but I think I recall the octagonal-slides being memorable (which today means 'collectible') - nice you're keeping yours. If you audition some turn-of(last)-century stuff, Sousa's Band, Herbert L. Clarke and others - Arthur Pryor was the legendary slide-trombone virtuoso, accomplishing what most believed only keyed instruments might. If interested, try to find "Variations on The Bluebells of Scotland" [Arban] - for one selection as will demonstrate his reputation. Dunno whether his slides were round or octy, but it seems to me hard to swage close tolerances on the inner or outer - all things considered. The circle represents God. Ashton

(Sergei Nakarikov could use a duet partner on trumpet --> fleugel, in a few years. Wynton is solidly into jazz, though he can do Everything, too) ie: More Musicians / fewer Gunners. (or designers of such) Ashton
