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.

King 4B £700 ono
This is a straight 4B that has been completely refurbished. Lovely finish and nice blowing. Slide is about 7/10 and still needs wearing in a little.

JP 231 Rath £325 ono
This is in very good condition, the only blemishes being two small dings, a couple of very minor scratches and a little lacquer wear around the grip. It is lovely to play and has a nice slide action. The case is also in good condition. Here is what it says on the John Packer website:
Designed in conjunction with trombone guru Michael Rath. Medium large bore, 8" bell. This instrument sets unparalleled standards for build quality and performance in the student price range. As played by Carol Jarvis on Seal's recent European tour. Price includes a lightweight case and mouthpiece.
