Hi, I really like playing older instruments, especially Holtons, but it's not like Bach where you can easily find specs for all the instruments and different little bits. I was wondering if there was some database that had a ton of different instruments and their specs, if anybody has anything, please let me know, thanks!

There is a lot of information on https://www.horn-u-copia.net but sometimes not everything you want.

There are Web sites for:
Conn https://cderksen.home.xs4all.nl/ConnTrombone.html (covers mostly until 1980)
King: https://www.hnwhite.com (covers only until about 1965)
Olds: http://www.itsabear.com (basically until Olds went out in the mid 1970s)

It's old and certainly not perfect, but here's an archived copy of Yuen Li's trombone page:
