Hi from Oregon!!
I've been lurking on these forums for quite a while. I played trombone through college (band of the Fighting Irish) and now I'm raising 3 budding brass players (Trombone, Euphonium being turned into a tuba player, and Coronet). I just want to thank all the people who have been adding insight and information to these boards. It's been really fun and useful.

Hi
I'm also from Oregon.
I'm a new member and hoping someone can help me identify my father's trombone. He passed years ago and I inherited his ES trombone made in Los Angeles which he bought in the mid 1940s. Can anyone direct me to finding more history on this instrument? I'm hoping to let his grandchildren know about it as we cherish his music and memories.
Thank you
P

Re: Hi from Oregon!!
What do you mean by ES? Earl Strickler? I have one.

Hi Doug,
The initials on it are ES and Los Angeles. Would that be Earl Strickler?
If I can get more info and history I'd appreciate that.
Thank you
Patty

Re: Hi from Oregon!!
Based on the pictures Doug forwarded to me, I'm pretty certain that it's a Strickler. Pretty much all I know about him is on this page of my website:TromboneDaughter wrote: ↑Thu Sep 15, 2022 7:26 pm Hi Doug,

Since it doesn't have a serial number, I'd tend to think it was one of the first ones made; that would also explain the simpler engraving.
Stricklers in general are quite rare (and that's a term I do not toss around lightly), and yours has some features that set it apart from the others I've seen - there's a real possibility that it is entirely unique. The fact that your father chose the Strickler rather than one of the more well-known instruments probably says something about him. Was he a serious player?
