This is a used Alessi Model Edwards trombone. Currently called the T396-A model, this is an original Alessi model, dating from the time that Joe Alessi was an Edwards trombone artist.
Unlike the current T396-A, this trombone features the Swiss made Willson Rotax valve.
A few other features of this model:
- Gold brass main tuning slide
- Gold brass F attachmnent tubing with a yellow brass F slide crook
- Yellow brass bell with unsoldered rim
- Reverse main and F tuning slides
- Fixed sterling silver leadpipe
- Gold brass outer hand slide tubes with a yellow brass slide crook
- Harmonic bridge (adjustable posts not included)
- Case included but in poor condition
This trombone is in good playing condition but shows signs of use including lacquer wear and dent repair. The hand slide, tuning slides and valve all work smoothly.
This is a great pro level trombone that is hard to find in Australia!
