[Trombone-l] Your first trombone?

[Howard Spindel]

My first horn, circa 1961, was a Conn 4H that was a reconditioned school 
horn.  Yes, silver, with some corrosion, although the reconditioning 
made it a decent horn.  Cost my parents $25.

A couple years later I got a used Conn 6H which was in better shape.  
Still have it.  Lots of Connwear on the tubes but it plays nicely.
