[Trombone-l] Old Conns

[Elliott Moxley]

Are you sure about Allied? I had a old 78H slide come apart from red rot.
(I bought it WELL used, I might add). One of the better shops in the NY
area could not get a lower slide tube. The repairman even showed me the
Allied catalog.  Not listed-  

This was about four years ago, BTW.   Maybe things have changed?  That .522
is an odd size; most of the other horns in that general size are .525.
