What should I name my Adams Trombone?

JayceA · Post by **JayceA** » Sat Mar 16, 2024 6:12 pm

I am soon to purchase an Adams TB-1 tenor trombone, and am looking for ideas to name it. It has an extremely warm tone, and a unique curve to the F-attachment. I am still debating between satin or lacquer finishes, so ideas for both would be appreciated. Thanks!

Why do you need to name your trombone?

Wish the OP would let us know what that named it. I bet it was "Lucille".
