[Trombone-l] FOR SALE: Rath R9 Bass Trombone

[Daniel Cloutier]

FOR SALE: Rath R9 Bass Trombone, in excellent condition. Has dual independent Hagmann Valves, standard bore (.562) slide with nickel crook, rose brass tuning slide and special nickel bell. The horn is just over a year old, but played very little over the last six months, and in excellent condition. Has a few dings in the end crook and a couple of repaired ones in the main tuning slide. Slide works great: 8.5 out of 10. Sound is amazing. The Rath nickel bell is becoming increasingly popular: it has a big round sound with lots of color, and when you open it up, it stays round and holds together beautifully! These cost about $5500 new; this one is selling for $3950 (negotiable) plus shipping. E-mail me if you want pics or more information. Don't let this one get away!
