Look Ma, no hands! Well, almost. I added the below photo from New Zealand to the Trombone History Timeline (19th century, first half). It looks like at least one of the trombones is a valve trombone–I don’t know how anyone would play a slide trombone in such circumstances, although it’s probably been done! The Christchurch [...]
