I’ve got a trombone we rented back in the 70’s and am trying to figure out who manufactured it.
Who made this?

Re: Who made this?
I would say maybe Holton, since the handgrip area is chrome plated. Maybe?

I'm thinking Allied. They started building trumpets, cornets, trombones, and marching brass for DEG in the early 1970's; there's no reason to think that they didn't build stencils for other companies, too.

Re: Who made this?
Thanks JohnL, but it was already well worn before we started using it. My thought was mid to early 60's.
Hornbuilder, I was thinking Holton or Getzen.
