TromboneChat

Just wanted to pick a few brain about this Bone. one has come up 2nd hand for a nices prise (around £2,400) and im thinking about pulling the trigger (budum tssss) on it but as im not familiar with Edwards so getting some thoughts about this trombone would be appreciated.

The specs listed
Bell - 334CF 8.5" diameter Red Brass

Slide - T-STDN (looks like light weight from the pics but on line it said T-STDN is standerd weight...)

Tuning Slide - Single Radius yello

Valve - Axial Flow valve

Nothing about the leadpipe is mentioned but I was planning on trying a few anyway for fun.

From what ive seen online it looks like this will play more like a conn with this spec, is that right? I would idealy want something with a bit more core and projection to the sound.

Anyway any clues on how this Honker would honk would be appreciated.

many thanks.

Lots of good leadpipe options for this trombone. (Originally came with 3 of them.) Slide is wider than a Conn. If you maintain the valve and slide, it should be a keeper.

From Edwards:

This will not play like a Conn. Soldered rim and a fairly heavy gauge bell, single radius TS instead of dual-radius. I'd say it would play fairly close to a King 4B.

Thnaks all for the info.
sounds like a good horn but just not for me.
