Description: | This instrument was bought in 1972 from the instrument collector and scholar Philip Bate. It is difficult to determine the maker, as the bell has been replaced and the original inscription lost. However, Bate was almost certain that it is the work of the firm Van Engelen who were active in Lierre, Antwerp in the period 1813-1924. The instrument has three Vienna valves, but their piston mechanisms are of a distinctively Belgian design, known as the 'Système Belge'.
Valve trombone in B flat, long model. The tubing of brass with three vienna valves positioned on second yard of the valve section. A thumb plate connects the casings of first and second valves. There is a tuning slide on the lower branch. The valve section and the bell are connected with an inertia fitting. The socket for the music card holder is on the mouthpipe. The bell has been replaced and a ferrule is fitted over the join on the bell stem. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | valve trombones trombones metal copper alloy | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-12674 |
