any trombone players

[wsaraceni]

i have a bach stradivarius trombone i'm looking to get a value on. i believe it is the model 8. i can get more info off of it at home and pictures. it seems like it is in ok condition. the case is beat up though with the handle fallen off. and it doesnt have a mouthpiece. i'm pretty sure the rest of it is there though. where could i go about getting it appraised or selling it? i know nothing about brass instruments.

I'd start by looking at Ebay prices. There are also a couple of good sites, notably www.trombone.org (http://www.trombone.org), you could check out. It would be nice to have a better case but don't worry about the mouthpiece; any serious player will bring his own.
