Reynolds Contempora Bass Trombone Custom Finish Bach 50LT Slide SN 88676 late 1980's make. Is a 1960's Bell/Valve Section, high copper content 10" Bell. The neck receiver has been changed out to fit a Bach 50 Slide, is paired with a 50LT Nickel straight bore .562 standard bore. The bell finish is the result of removing original lacquer, buffing, and letting patina form prior to lacquer. The finish was done on this horn 10-20 years prior to arrival here. The bell is remarkable, no dents or dings, no signs of prior damage. The valve plays great, quick and quiet. Has nice balance and ergonomics paired with the Bach 50LT slide. Would be a great first bass trombone for any player looking to get started on bass. [Or for an accomplished player looking for something with a single valve. Nice all around bass, or for use in a Big Band. It roars like a lion down to low C with a Bach 1/2G, but any bass mouthpiece will work fine with this Bach slide. Includes Black Leather Bass Trombone Gig Bag, Stomvi, Spain. There were a few dings in the tuning slide at the time of photo's, but our repair guru is taking them out with dent balls. This was a pro freelancer/orchestra players horn. It plays well.
