[Trombone-l] WBEZ-CHICAGO PLANS TO PHASE OUT MUSIC

[John Burton]

This is a somewhat odd request, but I seem to recall someone on-list bought one of those "Selman" alto trombones a while back.  
 
What was the result on that?
 
I'm looking for a low-cost alto trombone, would like one w/Bb attachment, but I'm not picky.  
 
Reason for this is for the trombone ensemble, I'd like to bring it in "just in case".  I'm sticking to my Contra and Bach 50B3 in the ensemble, but I know others who might like to pick it up and play it.  
 
I'm not willing to commit $1500 to a trombone that's less likely to be played than my soprano trombone, but I'd still like to have an alto around for when needed.
 
Ideas?

Well. . yes.  But there were only two people at the time.  Adam and Eve.
And no doors anyway. . .
