Well, I've been trying to resist this thread, just because I can't think of them off of the top of my head, but here goes-
York soprano trombone
Bach 39 Alto
Conn 34H Alto
Conn 16H Alto
Conn alto valve trombone
Olds F alto
unmarked german alto
Earl Williams model 6
Earl Williams Model 9 (x3-one of which has had the F attachment removed)
Earl Williams Model 10 bass trombone (x2-one is complete Williams, the other is bell and crook mounted on a Conn 72H)
Earl Williams model 4 (made in Tennesee-not a real Williams, but a fine horn nonetheless)
About 10 or so Williams and Wallace tenors
2 Williams and Wallace basses
Larry Minick custom symphonic tenor built on an 88H
Larry Minick custom bass Bb/F/Gb/D built on a 60H chassis I think, or maybe all Minick.
Elkhart Conn 88H
Debruycker custom small bore horn - copper bell with sterling flare!
King Silvertone 2B
King Symphony rose brass large bore trombone (prewar)
A whole host of gold plated-custom engraved Conns from the 20s and 30s
A bunch of Olds trombones that I find interesting but no one else seems to :)
A Conn 72H EEb trombone bell that I need to get a slide made for
Conn 60H trombone in C (x3)
Miraphone BBb/FF contrabass trombone
Conn Eb alto trumpet
Bach model 351 F alto trumpet
Conn 4B Bass trumpet
H.N. White King bass trumpet
Boosey and Hawkes Sovereign compensating euphonium
Conn 4 valve double bell euphonium
Conn 5 valve double bell euphonium-gold plated, engraving over every square inch, needs restoration.
Thomas Key 11 key ophicleide in C (restored by the list's own J.C.Sherman-Thanks JC, it's awesome!)
Goutrot 9 key Bb ophicleide
Unmarked English (likely) or American (very unlikely) 9 key Bb ophicleide
Cheap plastic serpent
Bottali Eb alto Rothphone
Conn 16V Contrabass sarrusophone
Conn-O-Sax
And a bunch of things I've forgotten.
And now that I have finally quit my day job (effective Oct. 31st) maybe I'll have time to practice enough that I can get back into shape on all these horns, or at least some of them.
