Can someone please tell me what kind of slide crook is on this thing?
Special sound enhancing technology??

Looks like the parts were sourced at Home Depot.

That is seriously creative! If it is sound enhancing, then they've made a breakthrough in trombone design.

"Normal wear" indeed

That's the fabled Home Depot crook. Used by people too cheap to buy a real one.

That's hilarious. I had a euphonium that someone did the exact same thing for the leadpipe. (They soldered a small shank mouthpiece adapter into copper plumbing and soldered that directly to the valve block. Wish I still had pictures of that!!

They’ve also solved those leaky spit valve pad problems as well as eliminating the nasty stains in the carpet.

Sometimes you just gotta do the best what ya can with that what ya got.
He almost got by.(sorta)
If he had used long radius elbows, it might have been playable.

I think plumbing pipe is measured by outside diameter....please correct me if I am wrong. So I wonder what width pipe they used on that trombone.....5/8"? Do they make a 9/16" copper pipe?
