For sale is a rare Meister Hermann Schmidt Markneukirchen small bore trombone. Only a couple of years old, this .508 bore trombone features a 7\" gold brass, one piece traditional German bell, and a medium wide slide with nickel silver outer tubes and a round, gold brass crook and removable leadpipe (friction fit). A second, Shires T08 2 leadpipe is also included with this sale. The bell is un-lacquered from the factory while the slide is lacquered. Overall condition is excellent, which nary a scratch or dent to mention. Comes with case, as shown, no mouthpiece.This instrument is very responsive with a rich, dense sound and plays very straight ahead; no funny notes or strange quirks. All in all, a fun little horn that would be well suited to a classical setting needing a small horn or a jazz band that you like the rich, dark sound of a large horn combined with the density, power and punch of a small horn. Overall, a fun to play, rare instrument in great condition.
