Looking for a new or used custom medium bore (.525) trombone with f-attachment and prefer red brass bell.

Really want an M&W 336 but waiting on a returned phone call to get that process started.

If not, would consider an Edwards T327 or comparable brand/model.

Not really interested in Rath or Shire cause they haven’t worked for me as much as the Edwards did in the past.

I loved my Edwards T-302 before I got my Lawler Model 2 so I am set on my small bore horn.

Wish Lawler made an f-attachment Big Boy but unfortunately he’s retiring in December.

Did you email Matthew? He’s extremely busy and responds better to emails. He’s a 1 man operation and cannot spend all day on the phone with clients.

I left a VM with Matthew and he eventually emailed me back.

We've been in discussion ever since then but the price is what's holding me back from pulling the trigger at the moment.

That's why I'm still looking around at other custom medium bores out there.

Thank you Bill.

You are correct, I am a one-man shop. (My wife is my Business Manager, but she is not in the shop until later in the afternoon)

As a result, if I'm working on something noisy ( buffing, lacquering, brazing, machining) I cannot hear the phone. Or, if I'm doing something like cleaning an instrument, before being lacquered, I can't stop in the middle of that process.

When people leave a message, I usually hear those messages at the end of the day. I then reply the following morning. At very least I try to respond within a day. It may be later over a weekend because I am a gigging muso, too.

But ultimately, email is the most efficient method of communications for me.
