Okay, my trombone is screwed, no doubt about it.

Does anyone know where to get a GOOD European/medium shank trombone?

I play like crap on small shank, and large shank is rather awkward for me. Medium is the way to go, but finding them is hard.

Oh, blast my parents for getting a medium shank bone for Christmas!

The first thing that came to my mind when I read this was WWBW, but I'm not positive on that... I'm not an expert on trombones, but I do know that European shank bones aren't all that common. Try WWBW.com and Giardinelli.com first, though I would rather ask someone who actually knows about this stuff! (if any such person is available)
