[Trombone-l] trombones and choral music

Wed May 2 07:41:20 CDT 2007

There's one question I have.  I can certainly buy that this part is perfectly playable without a valve, I have been studying the instruments themselves for years, have created for myself an imense digital archive, and I have never seen an extant period Bb Bass trombone.  The only thing close was an American 19th century Baritone Trombone in Bb.

Where might I get the specs and perhaps a photo of something like this?
