Erik, he sends stuff worldwide (or at least used to). If you send him a "want list" he will probably reply.
He also services fountain pens if you are interested in those.
FWIW DJ is no longer in the pen business.
To do any meaningful trombone business, you will need to make a trip to Chester, IL and do business in person.
DJ hasn't been inside the Art House of Trombones in 3+ years, and isn't physically capable of going there now. There are steps to climb, and it's treacherously cluttered inside. He has a caretaker who can let you in and accompany you on a tour, where you can look at and select from what remains of a once great collection.
And FWIW, pretty much all the real gems are long gone. You won't find any NY/MV Bach Strads, Schmelzers, Williams, etc.
But there are numerous 2B and 3B bells, small bore Olds, Reynolds, Bach Corp 42B bells, some 6H's and 8H's etc.
On separate visits, Mike Corrigan and I dug out some of the more desirable horns and took them over to DJ's house, so DJ has easy access the following list of horns (in cases) that are for sale and would be easy to access and ship:
2B Silversonic '50's in original silver gator coffin case
Very early friction fit 2B Silvertone in original case
8H '50's with bow guard and half moon engraving
78H '50's with half moon engraving
Bach 12 '80's
Bach 16M '90's
Bach 36 '80's (I believe this was one of Clark Gayton's horns)
Bach 42 '80's bell with 36 Corp. slide
Selmer K-Mod in original case
ggfdd yes. Many changes in my
lease be easy this time
