Description: | A bass trombone made by Boosey & Hawkes at Edgware in 1932. Many of the instruments played in London's orchestras and bands changed significantly in the course of the 20th century, and the bass trombone changed more than most. It was originally built in G and had a very long slide with a handle fitted to allow the lowest positions to be reached. Later the B flat bass trombone became the norm. This is a shorter instrument which uses two thumb-operated valves rather than the extended slide to reach the lowest notes. This model represents an early stage in the transition; it is tuned in G and has a slide extension handle, but is also fitted with a single valve. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Horniman Museum and Gardens | Rights holder: | Horniman Museum, London | Subjects: | work Leisure | Temporal: | 1933 | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
