TromboneChat

Hi: I bought a used Holton bass trombone, made in Elkhorn, Wis. recently. The model number stamped on the underside of the slide is 183, with a 6 stamped under the 183. Does anyone have any info on the specifics of this horn, or how to find it, e.g. year of manufacture, materials, etc.? I'm pretty sure it is .562 bore. 8 1/2" bell, rotary valve, traditional wrap.
Thanks.

Thanks, I found that site earlier, but it doesn't have any info about the model.

Yes it does. It says it's a 9" rose bell, f valve, .562 slide. No picture.

Anyway to learn age?
