For sale are two low serial number New York Bach Model 6 trombones. #821 built around 1937 and #236 built in 1933. #821 was recently in the shop. Much to my surprise they did a great job with the slide! My regular tech is neck-high in tuba customizations at the moment. So this was the first time I got a chance to play #821 with a functionable slide. This horn has a 401 bell and is on the lighter side. It has a fantastic upper register that is effortless with a Bach 11 mouthpiece. Certainly a great horn for playing lead. It does have a nice darker patina, some wear throughout, some on the upper inner slide tube, and notably the bell brace where the thumbplace is. The bottom of the slidecrook is slightly pushed in. Probably the slide was dropped since these early horns did not have slidelocks. #236 needs a slidejob, most likely a new slide crook, and two small smidgen areas of wear on the stockings. The slide is also marked “6T” so it might be a lightweight handslide. This horn has a 415 bell that is heavier than #821 with the 401 bell. The throat appears to be larger and it also has a thicker, heavier french bead to the bell. I tried to capture this in some photos that are in the folder for #236. I played the #236 bell with the regular weight slide from #821 and Bach 11 mouthpiece. In this combination it has a fat sound throughout all registers. It plays darker and has an upper register that doesn’t get strident with loud dynamics. Both horns have nickle silver goosenecks, nickle silver tuning slide tubes and ferrules, and no slidelocks. Combined, these two horns would make a stellar small bore combination package. With the two different weighted bells and handslides this could be a package some players dream of, especially with the low serial numbers and the collectiveability factor. Here’s a listing of Bach trombones registered on the Bach Loyalist website: showing the uniqueness of the low serial numbers. More impressive would be to contact Conn-Selmer and get a copy of the shopcards to see who were the original owners of the trombones.
