> > Full Slide Trombone Model List The Conn Slide Trombone Model List This page is an updated, full trombone model number list. It includes models missing from the model number list, those that were added between 1965 and 1969, and corrections to the list where necessary. The choice of 1969 as an end date is due to the fact that Conn was bought by MacMillan in 1969/1970. New models after 1970 are therefore not included. End dates past 1970 are given, when known. I have included an extra column to indicate the year(s) when the instrument was (at least) in use.
If both the 'Year Introduced' and 'Year Discontinued' column is filled in, the 'Years Used' column is left blank (no need stating the obvious). Italics indicates 'educated guess', bold indicates dates probably incorrect. All trombones are in Bb unless otherwise indicated. The following list is by no means complete or even correct.
If you find an error, or know of a model of trombone that falls into the criteria mentioned above that doesn't appear on this list or is produced outside the years indicated on this list, please let me know (see main page for e-mail).

There are multiple companies that make trombones, a brass instrument characterized by a sliding piece on the front end (see picture). These companies -- Bach, Conn and Yamaha, just to name a few -- all have different designs for their instrument, and each style has its own corresponding model number. While the model number is not printed on the individual instrument, there are several methods of determining this information.
Local the manufacturer's logo or insignia on your trombone. Buku model pembelajaran kooperatif pdf. Different manufacturers have different logos, and print these logos at various locations on the instrument; for example, the King Instruments company prints a crown on the outside base of the trombone's bell (the flared part of the instrument from where the sound comes). A Conn trombone prints the word 'CONN' on the round part of the third brace (the short, straight metal rod nearest the back of the instrument). Once you know who manufactured your trombone, you will be able to narrow down your search for the instrument's model number.
Take note of the different features on your trombone. Is it composed of brass (which will have a golden color) or sterling silver? Measure the diameter of the bell, as this is a key measurement often used to distinguish trombones. Look to see if the trombone is operated by a slide -- as most traditional trombones are -- or by valves, like you'd find on a trumpet (Reference 1). Visit the manufacturer's website and look for its 'trombone' section. Some companies will list their different trombone models online, while others will have a downloadable PDF catalogue.
This is the information for which you are looking. Compare your trombone's features with those listed for the manufacturer's various models.
Use the trombone's serial number to help identify the model number. Regardless of your trombone's manufacturer, the serial number should be located on the piece of metal where the slide attaches to the rest of the instrument (Reference 2). Knowing your trombone's serial number can help you identify the year your instrument was made. King and Conn have lists of serial numbers and corresponding years of manufacture; this information can help you narrow down your search even further. Contact your local music store with the information you've learned about your trombone. Even if you don't have enough information about the instrument for you to find the model number online or in the manufacturer's catalog, the addition of a serial number should help an instrument expert find it for you.
