For sale- Eb bass trombone

Bob Kolada · Post by **Bob Kolada** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 1:26 pm

I had this made by J.c. last year and don't really play anymore. It's a 10" bell from a G marching baritone, a King baritone set, and a bunch of straight tubing. Horn plays well, kind of a cross between a cimbasso and a bombardon/ophicleide, probably. It has a vertical main slide in the back and a long lower 3rd slide pull so you can play low Ab.

I'm in Chicago and asking $1500 for it. Please email for more pics.

I had a LOT of fun building this, and my colleagues and I had more fun play-testing this than almost anything I've built!

Just out of curiosity, why would this instrument not be called an Eb bass or contrabass trumpet?

Wouldn't E flat Baritone Horn be a better description?

By definition, Eb isn't a baritone key... this is a 5th lower. The bore profile is essentially identical to an Eb "contrabass" trombone.

We don't call an Eb tuba a baritone either

A couple things I can clarify: .562 Bore, bass trombone receiver. There's a long tuning slide in the back to adjust everything. The bell is the standard I use for my Contras: Getzen. The tone is pure trombone, and it works great with a 1.25H up to a Klier contra mouthpiece. There are several handmade components

If you never intend to learn a slide instrument, and you want to play bass bone parts in your quintet, jazz band, etc., this'd hit the mark for you

Great looking job, I believe I'd call it an Eb bass trombonium.

Looks like a good treble clef reader's option to me.

Hi

Is the Instrument still for sale?
Is it a disadvantage for the trombone sound that the bell ist facing upwards?
Would You ship to Europe?

Thanks and greatings basshorn

I'm looking for something like this in Bb with 4 valves. Does such a creature exist? The closest thing I can find is a Conn 90G, with a smaller bore, smaller receiver, and 3 valves.
