"TubeNets" for other instruments?

[Art Hovey]

The TubeNet is a wonderful source of all kinds of information and I have learned a lot from it.
I wonder if anyone here knows of similar forums for jazz trumpet and saxophone?
A friend of mine has autographed paintings of a well-known trumpet player and a very well-known tenor man.
I suggested that if she put them on Ebay and sent the links to trumpet and sax forums she might get some bids.

I believe the main equivalent for saxophone is https://forum.saxontheweb.net/forum.php. It's organized differently, with myriads of sub-forums and sub-sub-forums and so forth. There are plenty of corners where I've never gone, but I don't know of any "look at what I saw on ebay" forum, and if you want to sell stuff there, you have to spend some time establishing yourself as a member first.

I don't know any other forum quite like TubeNet, but the trumpet forum I visit most often is http://www.trumpetherald.com" target="_blank. There are sub-forums for Jazz and Marketplace.

Us trombone players hang out at trombonechat.com. The old trombone forum which had been up for many years died a couple of years ago. The new site is not nearly as much fun. Too many serious people on there.

I participate in the Sax On The Web forum, and will tell you that it is probably not worth bothering with to draw eBay traffic. The structure of that forum is such that if a potential interested party doesn't use the forum home page as a starting page, and therefore doesn't see the posting for the short time it'll appear in the Activity Stream window, they just aren't going to see the post.

Unlike TubeNet, where responses often come within two hours, postings on Sax On The Web can take days to get a single reply, if at all, especially if they're in an esoteric sub-forum category. It's frustratingly inefficient compared to TubeNet, but, hey, it's all we've got...

I wonder what happened with the "move". It's been over a year now, and the place holder is still there. Maybe the years of posts were simply too much to port over to the new forum?

Seems like there's a fair amount of trumpet-related discourse here:

The owner of the old Trombone Forum shut it down with no notice, and was mostly completely unresponsive for years before that. No one else has access to it.
