[Trombone-l] ...Nothing Major

[Fred Hudson]

I got the impression from Dan's Subject line that this was a very 
tounge-in-cheek post and not a search for a recomendation to buy.

The Silvertone sold by Sears was a stencil horn - They used the trade name 
on radios, phonos and TV's as well. Probably threatened H. N. White with law 
suits if he continued to use the TM on his silver-belled instruments.
