New York Bach 50; now with rotors. What do I do with it??

[@jonburton1935]

Anytime by lebedev is pretty dreadful. Recently payed the concert allegro….. left feeling shy did I bother? I’m looking at dependent valve bass trbs but they’re really hard to find and need special ordering

[@okyouknowwhat]

I’ve always had the idea to swap the crook from a normal bach slide and an LT slide, to give the brass slide an authentic Bach nickel crook. Then you would have to change the lead pipes because I don’t like the standard bach leadpipe. I guess at that point you might as well get a Shires or Edward slide!!!

Looks like an old Conn crook to me seen a lot of those her in uk I am a repair tech. If it as mine I’d keep the bell and tuning slide and make the M&W screw fitting to try it on those lovely rotors?

[@AidanRitchie]

I had the M&W built just to avoid that! Thanks for the info on the crook, I think you may be right. '50s 88H maybe?

Hey aidan, 2 questions 1. What hand brace is on the horn and 2. How would i go about buying those shires axials?

[@AidanRitchie]

Get-A-Grip on the New York, and hit up my lesson link if you're interested!

[@DanR068]

I think you should give it to me

[@trmbtrmb]

Why not have that bell fitted to your m and w?

[@AidanRitchie]

I had the m&w built soldered just so I wouldn't do exactly that haha

[@jameschristiansson3137]

How many trombones do you own?

[@AidanRitchie]

Oh no... Don't make me check. Let's see! Wow, I'm at 19. Time to cut back a bit...
