It does have some wear and small dings and scratches from use as well as mild wear on the slide stockings. The sound is crisp and bright with a symphonic character… it is an ideal principal trombone. Looks very similar to a 78/79H but has a slightly faster bell taper to my eyes. It features a gold brass 8" bell, bell tuning and a wide medium bore slide with bronze outer tubes and a nickel crook. It looks like a small 88H and has a hand bent F attachment wrap in that traditional closed wrap.
This particular 80H also comes from my collection and its the latest I've seen, being made in 1949. I personally collect 80H trombones and my 1940 version was custom made for Simone Mantia of the Metropolitan Opera and used by him until he retired. They are very rare as only a handful were made. 525" medium bore trombone developed in the 1920s and featured a unique bell taper, tuning in the slide and an 8" bell flare. Would could also do most pivot polishing with this, although the Sherline would be much better.A super rare Elkhart Conn, this is a model 80H (also know as the New York Symphony Model). Benchtop or stand size drill press like Craftsman, etc.: has a million shop uses but I got the bushing attachment from Timesavers with KWM reamers (although I used 'The System' bushings). Sherline or similiar lathe which can be used well for pivot polishing, repivoted, and many other applications with appropriate accessories.2. I own a Sherline, and have an old bench drill press and bought the KWM bushing adapter set from Timesavers.My question- can a newbie do the bushing jobs this way - I have heard privately that the Burgeon Bushing tool is a waste of money and the press is all you need.Thanks,Looking2LearnHaving said that, if one is starting out or has limited budget I would invest in:1. Mark:With respect to this suggestion, I am rather new, and have done exactly what you say.
But, my chuck would not be satisfactory for re-pivoting an arbor.Bill. However, I have not found that to be a problem when polishing pivots, because the steady rest holds the end to be burnished and there is no movement at the pivot.
