Conn Ballroom Trombone, silver plated

Description

Here is what Conn said in 1931: the Ballroom model was originally built for dance work and syncopating orchestras, but it proved to be such an excellent instrument it is used in a wide variety of engagements. Its .500 bore gives it a broad, rich, magnificent tone, which has made it popular in larger orchestras. The bell is set back near the player so it is easy to reach for muting and wow-wow. Extra-long slide bearing prevents slides from sagging in lower positions, and the tuning slide is in the slides- a feature preferred by many payers. Slide lock, bell lock, and balancer are conveninces much appreciated on this model.
The particular horn is silver plated, and which the plating is tarnished, a little polish will clean it right up. There are minor dents on the bell, pictured above, but all are relatively small and should not affect playability.
Please be aware: payment must be received within 24 hours of the auction ending. If payment is not received in that timeframe, the trombone will be offered to the next highest bidder.
