Conn 44H Vocabell Trombone 1942

Te koop een prachtige vintage Conn 44H Vocabell trombone gemaakt in 1942 met een mooie Art Deco gravering. 
De 44H is een "Vocabell" -instrument. Vergelijkbaar met de Connqueror-trompetten en lange cornetten uit de jaren 30 en 40 heeft de beker geen rim-wire. De Vocabell werd geproduceerd tussen 1932 en 1951.

What Conn said in 1937:
The 44H Connqueror trombone with new principle Vocabell marks a new era in trombones. Never before have trombone artists experienced such ease of blowing, such power, and such beauty of tone. The Vocabell vibrates freely and in sympathy with the vibrating column of air in the instrument. Delicate harmonics, formerly dampened out by the stiff bell on conventional trombones, can now be reproduced to enrich tonal coloring. The upper register now speaks out with surprising power. The whole scale, from bottom to top, is smoother, more even, more flexible, and more resonant than on any other trombone. Delicate radio tests prove it. Made at Columbia Broadcasting Studios, New York, under supervision of Nathaniel Shilkret and without Conn's knowledge, these tests showed from 12 to 15 decibels more power for the Vocabell. Used by the great trombone virtuoso of the Metropolitan Opera, Simone Mantia; "Pete" Beilman, first and "hot" trombone with Ted Weems; Caroll Bates, star with Jack Denny; Irvin Verrett, first chair, Phil Harris; Jack Lacey, first trombone with Andre Kostelanetz on CBS; Joe Harris, first chair and "hot" trombone with Benny Goodman; and many others. Marvelous slide action, with extra long carriage for lower positions. Standard bell 7 inches. Slide lock, bell lock, tuning in bell. Modern styling at its best. Bb medium bore. Now made lighter so it weighs the same as other trombones.

Trombone heeft een zeer mooie vintage uitstraling en is in goede staat op enkele gebruikerssporen na. De schuif is prima conditie en de plating op de binnenschuif is praktisch intact. De trombone heeft mooi geluid en spreekt heel makkelijk aan.
Inclusief zeldzaam Conn 3A mondstuk en originele koffer.
