1870's? Quinby Brothers

Side Action Rotary Valve Trombone

This is a rare tenor valve trombone by Quinby Brothers of Boston. This company made instruments from 1876-1884.  Made entirely of German silver (nickel) and has been carefully restored. It is pitched in B flat. This instrument plays quite nicely and represents the highest quality of workmanship. There is evidence of dent removal on tuning slide crooks and there are a couple of very small patches. Still, given the age of this, it is in remarkable condition.
