STORY ON : " THE FIRST LION "
(

)
FROM A MARTIN ANCIENT AD:
INSIDE SLIDE OF NICKEL STEEL FOR STRENGTH AND RIGIRDITY,
CHROME PLATED TO PREVENT DISCOLORATION. STOCKINGS OF SPECIAL METAL FRICTIONLESS AGAINST THE SPECIAL METAL DOUBLE DRAWN BRASS OF WHICH THE SLIDES ARE MADE. ALL GRIPS AND BRACES MADE OF SOLID NICKEL. INSTRUMENT SELF BALANCING DUE TO THE LEAD LOADED CROSS BAR IN THE TUNING SLIDE.
THIS COMES WITH A VERY VERY RARE MOUTHPIECE ( FROM THE CONN LOYALIST ) :
Simone Mantia MODEL CONN II
A special mouthpiece for trombone, baritone or euphonium, modeled after Simone Mantia's own personal mouthpiece. Model after model was made and thoroughly tested by Mr. Mantia. Finally one was developed which not only won his approval, but in a blindfold test of four mouthpieces -including his own- was selected as being unquestionably superior. With it he was able to play high Ab, A natural and Bb in perfect tune and with absolute certainty and ease.
Model No.11 - Narrower cup and shallower bowl; otherwise proportioned the same as No.10. For all around work.
