PS: The pic that hopefully appears above here illustrates an instrument, that has references to 3 historical periods.
It started out as a bassbone in G in the normal fashion for the UK around 1930.
Around there was an increased interest for playing renaissance music on "period" brasses. Only there were not that many good replicas to buy.
The great trombone guru of that period advocated the cutting of peashooter trombones, that were getting obsolete in UK bands.
This instrument here has clear references to museum instruments. Yet the execution of the ideas represent a level of craftsmanship, that should not be the norm.
