EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Mr. W.S. Wilkinson, an extraordinary figure from the early 1960s in Keighley, Yorkshire, England. At over 80 years old, Mr. Wilkinson holds a unique place in musical history as the sole surviving individual who has mastered the art of playing the double-slided trombone. The double-slided trombone, an intriguing and rare wind instrument, is a marvel of engineering and craftsmanship. Its design features an additional slide for the left hand, allowing for more complex and nuanced melodies. Few have attempted to learn this instrument due to its demanding technical requirements. Despite the challenges, Mr. Wilkinson's dedication and passion for music drove him to become the last living person to successfully play this enigmatic instrument. His weathered face, adorned with a thick beard, bears testament to the years of practice and perseverance that led him to this remarkable achievement. This photograph, taken in the early 1960s, captures a moment in time when an exceptional musician defied the odds and continued to push the boundaries of musical expression. Mr. Wilkinson's legacy serves as a reminder of the power of determination and the importance of preserving the rich history of musical instruments, even the most unconventional ones.
