Hello all, I am looking for a large-bell thor. If anyone has one that they are willing to part with, send me a PM here.

Sad to see, but as others have pointed out, the stuff coming out of that factory in recent years has been... substantially less than stellar. But it sucks that the conn trombones are likely to go with them, those were still pretty good.

Not many I would recommend at that price range, but if you want something solid look for a secondhand Shure SM58 or SM57.

As long as you have a decent interface (Focusrite Scarlett works great, Used can be had for around $50-100) those mics would give you great results.

Some will say the SM57 ...

What microphone should I get? I want to record trombone and tuba ensemble music but my phone microphone makes me sound like a 7th grader so I’d like to know what microphone work for those instruments. I’ll also be playing pedal tones on some of the music so I’ll need a mic that can pickup the pedal ...

What do you guys think is the better horn of the two ridiculously priced cc York copies
