Henry G. Lehnert, who built instruments in Philadelphia, produced several new instruments for the 1876 Centennial.
Most notable were his baritones and tubas, which rested on top of ones shoulders facing forward, and his valve trombones,
which featured Side Action Rotary Valves and an upcurved conical leadpipe.
When I got this instrument, it had lost its tuning slide bow, so I had to manufacture another. This trombone was
constructed for high pitch, but even with the slides pulled out for modern pitch, this is the best playing and in-tune
alto instrument I have ever found. I used it with The All-American Cornet Band for almost twenty years.
