After watching your older vids, I'm curious - did you strip your trombone of the lacquer, or did it wear away naturally? Either way it's beautiful!!

[@WilliamLang]

with this trombone, i received it unlacquered about two years ago, and that's the natural patina that's developed so far

[@elkartian]

If you had a David Bremmer Shhhh mute it would win for ease of blowing ,but it doesn’t fit in the bell in a case

[@WilliamLang]

i'll have to check them out next!

[@CarterCamporeale]

What horn is that?

[@WilliamLang]

that's my Stephens Horns Trombone - a Mount Vernon inspired french bead bell with a solid gold brass slide, a caidex valve with an annealed valve cap, and a little metal ring for stabilizing near the main tuning slide
