Contempora nudes

For anyone interested in what their vintage (pre-1964) Reynolds Contempora trumpet/cornet would look like stripped to the raw metal, I offer this page, which summarizes my recent experience stripping a 1959/60 Contempora tenor trombone.

Very interesting (to me) to see that it appears Reynolds used a colored lacquer layer to achieve the final color on the Contempora horns, as well as a clear coat to protect everything.

Moderator Mikey can chime in on how it sounds if he likes... definitely a "no harm, no foul" result in my book.

DANG IT! . . . I thought this thread read "Contemporary Nudes!"

I didn't know that YOU were the "stripper."

Warmest regards,
