Today got request for a 3B bell section

Because seeker got a valve section for 300

Well I am happy for that

HNWhite brass bell trombones in top condition

Are more scarce than Silversonics

The ropy loopy still favorite of salsa players

I recently sold an HNWhite Silversonic bell

W HNWhite valve section

The valve section although ts stuck amazing

Intact. Bell needed some tlc. Now in LA.

A62 brass in complicated trade because of

Damage in shipping on the trade it

Next beautiful blowing HNWhite Silversonic Bf

Up to Seattle. Slide needing tlc and some on gooseneck

VALVE TROMBONE CASES VERY HARD TO FIND

IN THE HNWHITE VINTAGE

Okokokoko so Benn Hansson suggested

Converting the 3 BF bells into

Straights. These bought mainly to get slides

Most interesting is the total hunk o junk

Utility Ropy loopy Silversonic I got from Blondie

Unbelievable the gooseneck and TS are or were silver plated with much worn off

Aarron Chandler has this gem now in a slim

Case w Noel Stephenson ‘s name on it

He is from OZ !!!!!!!! And is playing in the bush

And to the crocs Too

Aarron is gonna get one of the slides in incredible tack

And I am going to send acrylic paints so his sons can

Paint the case

LET THE LADS DO IT UP !!!!SAYS NOEL

The HNWhite known as red will soon be heard

All kinds of Basketball <EMOJI seq="1f3c0" tseq="1f3c0">🏀</EMOJI> pep band out East

:good: :good:

One day, if I ever get enough junk parts 3Bs (or enough disposable income), I'd like to get a double valve 3B made just for fun.

Holton 169
[/quote]the 169 is intact with a birdcage unattached

Pretty much dent free. But finish is gone

Not beat up

It is still in shipping box

a linkage ball is missing

It is enroute to Brass Exchange

Needs restoration mostly cosmetics

If you want it as is

That’s possible ?!?!?!!?

Tell me more!

At this point shipping to Switzerland

Would be expeditious

Before all

The necessary things to bring it up start

The guys at Haag could really do it up

Who wants to buy some 3bs? I’ve got a Eastlake model. And a Late 70s model in excellent shape and a 3bf, all have great slides and I also have a 3bf bell section that some knucklehead thought it a good idea to spray paint it.

Thanks for the update DJ! I'll contact Doug. I have been looking for a 169 since I tried one back in... 2005? So if you or anyone else come across another one, hit me up. I'll pay a fair price.

And Doug is getting an email from me :-)

Yep well be prepared to pay a premium. Would've been nice to purchase AS IS and to do your own work. An AS IS 169 would still command a very good price.

Wide glide 3Bs could really move...bull neck guys like me find the slide too narrow. Never heard of a wide glided 3B the owner didn't love.
