Well folks here's a really neat one. I love trombones. Don't get me started. I've owned quite a number over the years, especially old Conns which I tend to adore.
This model I've never seen before in person, and knew very little about. Its a Conn 79H from 1967, they only made these for a few years. It features an 8" bell and medium bore of .522" with F trigger. Very much a professional horn and sought after by those in the know as an excellent all around trombone.
It sounds very sweet! This one played well too, the slide was in good shape. Some minor cosmetic wear and a sluggish valve were the only bad things you could say about it. I'm not set up to really take trombones too far so I sold this one as is to a very happy customer! I'm actually really glad I didn't have too much time to spend playing it, as I was worried I might fall in love!
