Hey, trombonists! I have "talked about" making gig bags for alto trombones. But talk is cheap, right? Well, the time has come! I need to dust this project off and do it.

So...

Request: Can a couple of you with a "typical" alto trombone please measure it for me? How about 4 data points?...

--Make/model

--Bell diameter

--Bell section length

--Slide length

Oh, yes please!

Bach 39

6.5"

18"

25.5"

It's probably on the smaller end of altos, especially in the bell.
