Earl Williams Model 8 Donelson, TN Era. Mint condition, fantastic playing Earl Williams 8. Has 8 7/8" Yellow Brass Bell with .522 bore handslide. Takes small shank mouthpiece. If ever there was one trombone to play nearly all styles of music with, unless you absolutley have to have an F-attachment, this would be it. This horn will play very big with a large size small shank mouthpiec, 6.5 and 5G work fantastic. Smaller mouthpiecs such as 11C and 7C also work great, just a bit more compact in sound. The bottom end on this horn roars and the upper register is about as sweet as it gets. Has had chemical bath and has been adjusted for maxiumum playability. No service needs to improve appearance or the way it plays. Handlside is excellent. Never any damage or repairs to this trombone. Lacquer overall is in excellent conition, minimal signs of wear or use. Originally purchased by a pro player that also had a Model 6 which he bought after WWII. This was his second Williams, he played the other one mostly. In stock for immediate availability.
