[Trombone-l] wanted to buy: slide trumpet

[George Butler]

Before I commission my favorite baroque trombone maker for this 
project, I thought I'd check with the list to see if anyone has something that 
he or she would be willing to part with:
   
  I need a renaissance slide trumpet.  At A=440, it needs to be pitched 
in E-flat.  Or, to put it another way, it needs to be in D at high 
pitch, which is somewhere around A=466.  (I'll be playing with an alta 
group, a wind group consisting of shawm, bombard and slide trumpet.  Most 
shawm players play at high pitch these days.)    
   
By "renaissance," I mean something from the era of that Hans Memling 
"angel musicians" tryptich of 1485 in Antwerp.
    
It would be great to find one made by a reputable early brass maker, 
but I will happily consider any home-made project.  
   
  Feel free to respond off-list, if you prefer.
   
  Thanks, ya´ll!
