Conn 71H Tuning slide
Posted: Sun May 07, 2017 10:13 pm
I recently acquired a Conn 71H whose tuning slide is pretty beat up. The damage could be repaired, but I think it would make more sense to replace the crook. Does anyone know if replacement crooks are available for this trombone? I compared the tuning slide from my 83H and a friend's 72H and while the legs were the same size, the crooks wer wider (about 1/4") than the 71H. Could this be due to assembly differences? Allied doesn't list any Conn bass trombone crooks, though the do have other 72H parts. I was also wondering if a 112H or current 62H crook would fit. Any help would be appreciated.
