[Trombone-l] Duo Gravis -- what model???

[Keith Marr]

I can assure folks that my Duo Gravis was described as a 7B in the catalogue 
at the time I bought it (1975). I still have the catalogue for anyone who 
requires proof.

By the way I never found the trigger set up uncomfortable and played a lot 
of big band work with it.

Cheers!

Bass Trombone: St Albans Symphony Orchestra and Page Three Big Band
Soloist: Alto, Tenor and Bass Trombones
