Letting go of a stellar Baritone Trombone.
Very interesting horn. Bell is gold brass, and other than the tuning slide inners/outers, all the tubing is red brass. The gooseneck, bell ferrule, and reciever are all phosphorous bronze, machined from billet. F linkage cover is medical grade titanium. Bell is 2 piece, unsoldered rim, 8 inch. Since i will make the slide specifically for the sale, it can either be .547/562, or .562, bith with TIS. Leadpipe is removable. For an additional charge can be made out of nickel. Horn is unlacquered, but i can arrange for lacquer if the buyer wishes to pay for it.
This horn plays absolutely fantastic, to the extent of which I am using it's exact specs as a production model. Rich, robust lower range, and a beautifully light higher range. If you want to set up a time to try it, feel free to reach out.

What exactly is a baritone trombone? This looks like an Eb/Bb alto with a huge bell but you mention that it's an F attachment, and the slide will be at least a .547. I'm sure many here don't know what that instrument is, including me.
Also, you mention that you're "letting go" of this, but it looks like you've built it specifically to sell through your brass shop. You mention playtesting, but you haven't built the slide. There are so many questions about this cool looking horn that could be answered with a playtest video. Hopefully you can post a video or some audio!

We had a big discussion of this when LIBrass was going under his real name. it's a "portable" bass trombone in Db. Making it shorter than a regular trombone enhances its portability if you are traveling by air.
I would expect it would take a bit of effort to get used to (much like learning an Eb alto trombone).

Interesting. I wasn't involved in that one so I wouldn't have known.

Not quite. It is not a Bass, Tenor, Alto, or anything other than a Baritone, named for the tone of the instrument. While originally the goal was to create a smaller bass, it was far more interesting to hone it to fill the gap between bass and tenor.
It is the prototype for a production model i am going to roll out, largely modeled from it. I do have plenty of slides for test purposes, but they are fixed tuning. For this reason i am sure it will be preferable for the new owner to have one made specifically for them, with tuning in it.
If you click on either photo itll bring you to my Instagram account, with several videos and more photos of them.

Isn't it more correctly named a contralto?
And just to be clear, this is used, right?

He said "named for the tone of the instrument."
I think my Olds F alto could be called a mezzo-soprano since that's more what it sounds like.
If the key defines the name, a standard modern bass trombone is a tenor.

Exactly!
The slide will be brand new, the bell is less than a month old, around 20 hours play time on it.so i guess its a demo bell at worst. Either way, its pristine with zero wear.

Don't forget that the modern bass can drastically change its base key though. So not quite exactly. If a Bb/F is a tenorbass, a modern bass is absolutely still a bass.

Oh for God’s sake don’t get him started again. :weep:
