i have a brand new, custom made, goldbrass tenor crook for holton 547" tenor trombone for sale.

it is for conversion to a WIDE slide. usually the Holton narrow crooks are even narrower than a Conn 88H crook.

it has the exact tubing diameter of Holton tenor trombones. (14,4mm inner and 15,4mm outher diameter)

it will fit all Holton 160,166,150,140,107,170,158,188,380 and 680 tenors.

100$ incl. worldwide shipping.

paypal preferred

Interesting item. I am surprised by the inside diameter…..seems very small to me, but Holton did many unique things with their instruments.

14.4 is a .567 bore, which is very small for a .547 inch bore slide crook. I always thought that Conn 8H/88H slide crook was rather small (approximately .578 - .580 inch). Of course the Bach 42 slide crook is rather large (.600 inch).

I might be interested in this crook because it would probably work very well on a Bach 36 slide! Self control, self control…….I must not buy any more trombone parts!
