[Trombone-l] Bach Liberty?

[Eric & Candice Swanson]

Hey guys,

Anybody out there in the retail music business able to answer this 
question?  I got a flyer in the mail from Music & Arts that shows a Bach 
"Liberty" model LTB-501 trombone, which they are selling for $1999.  It 
looks like a 42B, but of course it's over $500 less than a 42B sells 
for, so there must be some difference that makes it cheaper.  Anybody 
know what this is?  There is also a Liberty trumpet which is a lot 
cheaper than the regular Bach Strad.

Naturally, Bach can't be bothered to let me know about the new models, 
but I need to know what they are.

Thanks,

Eric Swanson
