H. Glassl Bb/F Tenor-Bass Baroque Trombone, Quart Sackbut

Item Details

From the personal collection of Heribert Glassl of Nauheim, Germany, we have this Bb/F tenor baroque trombone.  A modern instrument, Herr Glassl built this himself of brass and nickel with some ornate trim, tubed bell brace and F-attachment.  While not historically correct, it solves many problems for players of medium stature to play sackbut.  Maybe you can say farewell fo rthe F-bass from time to time by using this unique instrument instead.  The the Glassl Quartposaune is finished in clear lacquer.  There's nothing else like it.

Includes traditional raw brass mouthpiece and hard case.

Traditional features:

• Small bore
• Small bell with kranz
  
• Leather stops without cork barrels
• Ornate hand slide bracing
  
• Raw brass mouthpiece

Modern features

• Key of Bb
  
• Single rotor to F with pull to E, traditional linkage
• Adjustable thumb trigger
• Tenor trombone mouthpiece receiver
• Tuning slide
• Tubed bell brace
• With water key
• Chrome plated inside slide tubes
  

Condition

In new condition with aging due to storage, some minor lacquer blemishes, and perhaps it went to a few gigs in Frankfurt back in the day.  Hard case is in A+ condition.

You:  I need to play F bass sackbut but it's such a PITA

Us:  how about Bb/F, with convenient water key.  Old-school bass sackbut problems are a thing of the past.
