Many thanks to the generous sponsorship of Fleming Musical Instruments and Repair!
If you're in the market for a vintage or new trombone, or need repairs done on your instrument, they are the place to go. They have a great selection of trombones right now. "I have worked with Fleming Instruments the entire time they've been open, over 20 years. I sent my band program's instruments there, and my personal instruments. They've always been a delight to work with, and I trust them completely." -Stephen Crawford |
