J.J. Johnson had several sabbaticals from active performing actually.

This is well before JJ retired from playing. But it is in the time I think when he degenerative back problems began. Maybe he was in pain, or maybe he just didnt want to be there. But honestly....there is no bad JJ Recordings. JJ was the Trombone Master...he even titled a CD that. It is a Yamaha Trombone. I am not sure on Model. But its Yamaha the folks who bring you "Fine Musical Instruments and Outboard Motors"

It most definitely is Yamaha, just look at the tuning slide brace. I think the one he used was a YSL-691.
