I suppose these listings are all over eBay, but I haven't been there for a while, and was amused to have this one pop up:

From our friends in China, we have a quite versatile "gold alto B-flat trombone." From the photos it can readily be played either light-handed or reft-handed. And only $77.50 (or best offer) - including FREE "Random Delivery" shipping. With a case. And a "Cupronickel Mouthpiece Cleaning Stick" - and a (randomly selected) pair of gloves (!) to complete the package. Shipped (it says) from Dayton, New Jersey.
We all should have one of these. At this price, perhaps two or more!

Ammoon is not Chinese, but Indian. There is a Trent Hamilton video about one where he describes it as a "soul destroying experience". Yet he manages to get a few good notes out of it.

It is stamped Made in China. Maybe it is an Indian company outsourcing it to China. That is comforting, isn't it?
Anyway, thanks for the chuckle! I like how the horn will be randomly silver or gold!...

I guess that means that the person in the warehouse picking out the instrument can't read the label to tell which finish you ordered. :evil:

I love how they use a picture of Jörgen van Rijen playing an actual alto trombone to sell it...

I wonder if the gloves are intended to protect the instrument or your hands.

The case is most likely the best part
