i got a rental trombone to get me thru the semester or until i can replace or recover the stolen one. this thing has a funk about it(not the good kind) and i cannot clean it out until i replace the cleaning tools that were in the case of the stolen horn.  i hope i don't catch anything from this. i still might hurl though.

Maybe you should have it consent to an HIV test (you know, "Herpes In Valves") before you swap spit?

ill have to check that album out.
on a positive note i got my trombone back from those thieving bastards who stole it. they tried to sell it to the store i bought it from and were caught red handed  they did a little damage to the slide.  i will have to wait until a weekend without gigs to get fixed.

I remember once when they got a tuba in, and somebody dropped a big deuce in it. It had to have been like three different people's poo, because I don't think one person could be capable of what was in that tuba.

Looking into getting a 88h or a non trigger version of the 760. | the rental was a POS yamaha ysl 642. the trombone i got back is an Eastman ETB432G. they are a fairly new brand to brass instruments, basically a authorized copy of shires. aside from a crappy job with the lacquer i am happy with this horn. .547, bore rotary f attachment, gold brass bell, nickel accents a real beauty.
i really dig the Kanstul 1550 but i have no money. 
my birthday is next month
