My Conn 35H Alto (1970?) had hand slide tuning. It was beautiful. Plus you could tune it down to D, or Db, if you had the skill. I played a Cherubini Overture in the key of D on a concert, it was great! The lack of bell tuning seemed to have a slight mellowing effect.
Very cool concept, I wish they were easier to find, I’ve only ever been able to play one and the slide was barely functional. Do those tuning slides have to be greased separately? I know the King conservatory trombones were advertised as having a better system because oiling the hand slide also took care of the tuning slide. Is that still what is being done today?
I love your channel and definitely will be visiting your shop one day. I have a question that doesn’t pertain to your video. What do you think about the relacquered vintage h.n. White 2bs
Thanks for your comment; I would love to have you visit as well! I actually have not been able to spend any time with any of the HN White restoration instruments as of yet, but would be very curious to; lacquer application can be a bit of a tricky process Unless one has the right spray booth/particulate control setup and a fine control of the thickness (not to say that this isn’t happening with these instruments, I just haven’t been able to experience them yet!)
@@SchmittMusicTromboneShop You’re the man! I’ve been watching you do your thing since I can remember, and when I started I thought there was no way you could get any better, but here we are. I’m currently playing on a Bach strad 16, but for years when I started playing jazz, I was on a school horn which was a king 606. I’m now touring a lot and gigging much more and I’m thinking about returning to king, but with a professional model like a 2b, which is why I was curious to get your opinion on said topic. Regardless, thanks for your speedy response and I hope you and yours have been well!
That's a very difficult question as every instrument plays differently for each player (there is no one "Holy Grail" of trombones that fits everyone!) With that said some of my personal favorites include the SE Shires Alessi and Rejano models, the Greenhoe GC2 small bore tenors, the Bach 42A, and the Edwards T396-AR...
The TIS on the Greenhoe is more "intimate" sounding, less brilliant. The TIS is for me a more chamber instrument, and the other, more a orchestral one... My 2 cents...

From the vantage of the listener hearing this recording the tuning in the slide sound and approach you had were the best.
Thanks for the feedback!
i own a eastman trombone, i absolutely love i've had mine since 6th grade

Greenhoe, M&W Trombones - just google it.

what is the best trombone model in our opinion

You should review the b&s ms14 tenor trombone!!! ❤❤❤
The B&S trombones are hard to get a hold of in the US but if I have one come through you can count on a video!
