1940's Conn 4H Elkhart £549 ono
Very good original condition. Serial number 368XXX. Lacquer is faded on the bell section with a small amount of tarnishing around the rim but other than that it is in fantastic condition for its age. It has a lightweight slide that is free and easy again with a little lacquer wear around the water key. Original case in good condition with all three latches working. This instrument has a full sound for a small trombone and the notes slot really well.

Conn 6H Victor. £499 ono
This is a 1970 6H in excellent condition - a few small blemishes on the bell and normal wear around the grip. Slide is very good and it blows exactly as you would expect. The professionals choice for a medium bore instrument, great for orchestral players wanting a smaller alternative to an 8 or 88H. Comes with a generic hard case.

Latzsch alto trombone model Kuhn.
Offers.
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a rare trombone with an interesting history. Latzsch trombones are high end German made instruments (the closest new model to the Kuhn is here http://www.laetzsch-brass.de/webshop/proddetail.php?prod=SL-730). This trombone, number 5XX, was owned by Evan Watkin (RPO) and then Denis Wise (BSO). It has a bare brass bell that I have cleaned a little for the photos and has a small number of minor dents and abrasions. The slide is OK when lubricated but feels like it needs a good clean. Having said that, for an instrument of this age (1950s I think) it is in very good playable condition (I have used it in the BSO for the last few years.) I can probably find out more about the history for anyone interested.

Packer 231 Rath. £299 ono
This is a near mint condition Packer 231 with Rath designed leadpipe. These trombones are fantastic value for money (around £400 new) and this is even more of a bargain. Once lubricated the slide is great and it plays like a professional trombone - Carol Jarvis used a similar instrument on her last tour. In great shape apart from a small dent on the bell gooseneck (see photos).
