So i was wondering if anyone plays a very old trombone? Mines a 1930s Elkhart. Any other oldschool trombones on here?

For my birthday, my Girlfriend got me a Sackbut. It's like... the Pre-trombone. Popular in the baroque era and whatnot. Mine was made in the year 1900.

There's the Wiki page if anyone doesn't know what I'm talkin about xD

not sure if it's actually vintage....i assume it is. but i play on a 1941 couesnon 'bone. it was made in paris ..so..i think it must be pretty hardcore to survive the whole invasion and all. use it in a ska band where i'm jumpin and thrashing a lot. the slide isn't perfect... but..it works great

Oh damn, yeah those sackbuts look badass, especially that bass one. What's yours? And how does it sound?

I wanna get one of those straight medieval trumpets, I don't know what they're called though.
