H Schindler trombones.

Anyone know anything about these? Have a customer asking about value, and what to do with it. TIS, small bore. Looks in good shape, but have only seen photos.
TIA!

Schindler took out patent in the 1920's for using bushings in the slide; does your customer's trombone have that sort of thing?

Thanks John.
I've not actually seen the horn yet, so can't say for sure.

Please let us know if/when you find out.

It's old and it's rare, but that's not enough to make it valuable.

For sure. I told the owner that she "has a piece of history, but I don't believe it has much value, in terms of potential sale price. Maybe a couple of hundred dollars. Potentially more if you can find the right buyer".
