[Trombone-l] 5B question

[thetubameister@roadrunner.com]

The actual 5B had the model on the bell, a larger rotor, a different wrap, a dual-radius tuning slide, and a relatively straight gooseneck.  However, the bell is essentially the same as the 9" symphony bells earlier, and they are strikingly similar for most in apperance and performance.  The 5B was a relatively modest update of your model.
