Question
Hello,
)
I am a music teach and sax player. I see all kinds of instruments come and go. My family also buys really cheap instruments at auctions sometimes. Last night my dad came home with a Weymann Keystone State Phila. Trombone with a serial number of 105 on the tuning slide and bell. I read on another Weymann instrument that to company was in business during the late 1800-1930. I was wondering if you could provide me with a date of manufacture for this trombone and if it id high pitch or low pitch. It's silver finish with the gold wash bell.
Thanks
He was in business until 1942, and used Keystone as a tradename in the later years of his business. There is no dated serial number list for Weymann.
A low pitch trombone should measure about 106 1/2 of tubing, and a high pitch instrument should measure about 103 inches.
