Very rare Tenor Sackbutt after Neuschel, 1557 (a440) by Frank Tomes (Reconditioned) in excellent condition and with Kingham case.
The bell is hand-hammered and burnished following the traditional method of construction – not spun as on a modern instrument. The bell garland has been burin engraved. The slide section has hinged flat stays packed with soft thread and leather to acoustically isolate, as far as possible, the parallel lengths of tube – as on the original instruments. A tuning slide adjustment is fitted where the slides join the bell section. (The long cone taper of the bell makes it impossible to have a tuning slide where it is usually fitted on a modern trombone.) The inner slides have stockings and are chrome plated for the smooth action expected on an instrument today. An Amado water key is fitted as standard.
Internal diameter slides: 12.3mm
Bell diameter: 103mm
