>>>Conn 79H Bb/F .522" Trombone; Elkhart 1967/68<<<

This is a Conn 79H Bb/F trombone made in Elkhart IN. Has an 8" diameter bell and a .522" bore. Uses regular tenor/small shank mouthpiece. [No mouthpiece is included.] Serial number is L060xx, indicating that it was made around 1967/68.

Excellent condition. Has lacquer wear, mostly on lower slide. Some ping-type dents on bell. One dent on tuning slide that's not significant [see pix].

Handslide is excellent. Very slick & quick. No snagging, dragging, hesitation, sluggishness, etc. No discernable wear on inner legs. Case is not original. It has some "issues" on the exterior [see pix]. But it fits the horn well and provides good protection.
