Still, every now and then I come across trombones that have not been engraved. Type in “(manufacturer) trombone serial number list” and you will usually find what you’re looking for.įor your convenience I compiled a little list for the bigger vintage brands: After finding out the serial number the next step is to google. Usually that number can be found on the handbrace of the bellsection, the braces of the slide or the slide itself.Ĭonn trombones usually are only engraved on the outer slide. In most cases there is a serial number engraved in the trombone. The easiest and usually most precise way is to look for the serial number. I am regularly being asked how to find out when a trombone was made.
