Hi all, not very sure where to post this, this seemed the most logical place for it:
I’m interested in buying a very nice courtois in france, but can’t get in contact with the seller. It’s on a kind of online marketplace, you need a french phone number to register and message; I live in the Netherlands, so no french number. Question is: are there any france based trombonist who can help me get into contact with the seller?
I’ve already tried those online sms-numbers, but they don’t work. Also a reddit post to find a french (non-trombonist) person, but the seller seems to think they are being scammed :( I was hoping someone on here could help me translate some technical questions/terms, so the seller doesn’t think I’m a google translating scammer :P.
Thanks in advance!!

I can help translate. But can't help with the french number unfortunately.

Thanks so much! I’m afraid it won’t be necessary anymore though :( the ad disappeared from the site, so I’m guessing it sold. It was a really nice custom hagmann built courtois 420 with delacquered (yellow brass?) bell. If anyone sees it, I’m very much interested!

That sounds familiar... was it the one I sold through my website some time ago?

Could very well be! Judging by the pictures it didn’t have the same slide though

Unfortunately not, I’m afraid the ad’s really gone :(
