Musical Notes
What's on My Bench? A Trio of Vintage Bachs
What you see here are a ‘62 Mt Vernon, a ‘66 43, and a ‘70 37, and they are all in pretty fantastic shape! The Mt Vernon is the best player of the three, but probably because it has had a valve job at some point and the pistons are still nice and tight.
What's on My Bench? 76 Trombones! (ok, only 22)
Today I’m going through a shipment of 22 trombones. Most of them are Bach 42BO like the one you see here! This particular horn is like brand new aside from a small dent in the knuckle tubing I have repaired. Most of them are near perfect with tiny cosmetic flaws, and a few show light use.

What’s on My Bench? Conn 62H Trombone
Today’s awesome horn is a Conn 62H trombone, and it was a lot of fun to work on! Serial number dates this one at 1970, and it still has a lot of years of play time left in it.
