[Trombone-l] Conn 10H

[David Goldfarb]

I got mine around the same time, and some 20-odd years later, I still play 
it.  It's got a really nice resonance close to the bell, so it's a nice 
horn for soft playing with a mic in a combo setting or for recording.  I 
also used it about a year ago for the tenor part in the Mozart Requiem 
with a chamber orchestra.

I'd say the value is comparable to a 50's 6H.  I haven't shopped for horns 
lately, but that's probably $800-1000 last I looked.
