George is wonderful in this performance, as always. My only complaint is that he is not playing his Conn 70H bass trombone. I have one that I have owned since 19505 and I do not believe that any other trombone has a more beautiful sound than the Conn 70H. But then no other bass trombonists come close to the professionalism of George Roberts. Thanks for posting this great recording.
I'm 99% certain he is playing on a Conn 110H Single valve Bass Trombone with modified Vincent bach 1.5g Mouthpiece ( bored out to a 1.25g ( or 1 1/4 ).
Mr. Roberts was the inspiration for all of us that picked up the bass 'bone.
Missing you, George.
Smooth as a gravy sandwich!

Il trombone viene sempre dopo l'uomo. E George Roberts veniva prima del 70h
One stiff in the audience not clapping @ 4:40!
Nessuno piace a tutti

@@ConnArtist70H I’ll second that.
Interesting - I thought he might be playing on the Kanstul he helped create.
Senza il trombonista, il trombone non suona
Thank you @frankenbone1 for all the videos!
