[Trombone-l] Looking For A Jazz Horn

[Patrick & Lisa Bates]

The later "tempo" is a different animal. Commonly known as a 606.......
Maybe this is where the confusion is? Doesn't have the curved bell brace.
Not sure on the specs on the older horn, but the 606 is .500 bore.....

BTW, sorry for the off topic!
