Vintage tenor trombone

Post by woolyhead »

Does anyone know anything about a tenor trombone made by Louville-Lam and Co in paris?

Not a name I've ever come across, but there's not that many old French built trombones in the UK due to output of the likes of Boosey & Co, Gisborne, Hawkes, and a certain frenchman called Besson.

Do you have any pictures? It may help narrow down a likely date range for manufacture at least.

I think the name is "Thibouville-Lamy"

Check them out on Horn-u-copia.

Splendour and Stewbones, thanks for your suggestions. I will act on them but I don't currently have a phone camera. Couldn't find anything useful-looking on Horn U Copia but I will keep on looking.
