Thank you for viewing. This is a Bb tenor trombone from the former East German workshop Horst Voigt. This instrument was used by Alexander Wunder, principal trombone player of the Halle State Opera Orchestra. https://www.buehnen-halle.de/de/staatskapelle The Halle State Opera Orchestra is classified as a so-called A orchestra, with a TVK-A rating. The (HTV) after the A indicates that it is an orchestra larger in scale than an A orchestra. https://uni-sono.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Anhang-PM-DOV-20-03-Pressemappe.pdf Although the bell is small, the metal is very thin, producing a solemn, yet brilliant and bright tone, typical of the trombone section of former East German orchestras. The slide is not chrome-plated on the inside, but it can be used smoothly with YAMAHA slide oil. Although it is an old instrument, it has been used by a professional player, and the overall condition, including the case, is very good. This is a very rare and valuable instrument, so don't miss this opportunity!
