Hi,

I'm a percussionist, not a trombonist, but it looks to me like it would be an alto trombone case?

There is this wikipedia site with more info on the various types of Trombones. Surprisingly there are types I had not heard of until reading that page.

Hi, even if my name says I play tuba, I'm first a trombone player and I have a case just like this one at home. A 9 inches bell can be either for a Bach Stradivarius 36B or a 42B, the only difference is the tubing diameter. The 36B is a medium bore professionnal trombone and the 42B a large bore.

Hope this answer does not come too late.
