[Trombone-l] Quadrabone

[Craig Parmerlee]

I have one of those with a receiver set up for King 3B.  As I recall, 
somebody had acquired the F.E. Olds brand and was selling the Quadro 
under that name for awhile.  I found it rather impractical other than as 
a gimmick.  With the extra friction from having 4 stockings, it is 
sluggish.  And that extra friction makes it difficult to do the small 
position adjustments to play with good intonation.

There was a fellow making a version of this in plastic for the PBone for 
awhile, but I haven't seen anything about that for awhile.
