valve trombone

I've always wanted one.

I've been playing slide trombone since 6th grade. ( I'm 39 now )
Not so much lately, though. I keep it on it's stand in the living room next to my drums and trumpet.
I'll blow a few tunes out now and then.

So, a long time associate, out of the blue, buys one for me.
Wow!

It's pretty old. I'd guess 50-70 years. Silver plated. Has a few dents and some worn/tarnished areas.
I need to do a tune up, but it has great valve action.
Sweet mellow sound.

I haven't played in a performing band for some time now, but this is motivating me again.
