Every once in a while I get an instrument that I know in advance I will have to save it. This is one such example. A silver plated Conn 70H from 1937. It came to me with very worn slide inners, but the sound was quite somehing! So I asked the people at Haag trombones to draw me new inners and they did a fabulous job! This is one of the 70H's with the shorter bell and longer slide, so it was important to get those inners right and don't simply take some inners from a stock horn. The original leadpipe has been saved, so this baby sounds just as well as it did before. The new inners still have to be broken in, this will take some time, but I can already feel this will be a great slide! The TIS tuning mechanism works really well as does the valve. As you can tell from the pics, there is some lacquer wear on the bell section, but there are no dings or dents.
