Hey, trombonists! I have "talked about" making gig bags for alto trombones. But talk is cheap, right? Well, the time has come! I need to dust this project off and do it.

So...

Request: Can a couple of you with a "typical" alto trombone please measure it for me? How about 4 data points?...

--Make/model
--Bell diameter
--Bell section length
--Slide length

Oh, yes please!

Bach 39
6.5"
18"
25.5"

It's probably on the smaller end of altos, especially in the bell.
