Own a piece of history - This horn played regularly by original owner at Juke Joint - Lil' Sister's in Texas!

I can't believe I'm selling this. It is one of my favorite trombones. I had the bell section restored by Rich Ita in Marietta Geogia... it is beautiful! The slide was reworked by Dr Ray (Slide Doctor) and is as good as any 2b I've ever played (and I've owned 5 or 6 of them).

This horn is so pretty that I'm afraid to take it on any gigs - so I've not played it much at all - but it plays wonderfully.

It has a unique back story - it was originally owned by a guy in Texas that played it every weekend at a juke joint (I will provide a letter from his niece with the horn). When he pasted away, his niece put it in storage for many years - and then I bought it (so for practical purposes, I'm only the second owner to this 1946 trombone jewel!).
