My Newest Oldest Horn
Though Not the oldest thing I've had in my hands
So I spent some time with my good friend and collector guru Eric Totman, and along with gawking at his collection, I managed to pick up a few cool things including this 1870's Gautrot Valve Trombone in Bb.
Needs a little work, nothing too crazy. |
Top View, Seems pretty normal. |
Not the original buttons, oh well. |
So as you all can see; it needs a little love. This will be a nice fun little restoration project for me, and something to show you all just what it is I love to do and how I do it. Stay posted for more pics as I load new horns, and begin to bring others to life.
This has been just another Confession of a Tuba Player.
