This instrument has had one adult owner being myself. I have moved on in the trombone world. I see this instrument as the next step from the school rental for an avid trombone player, middle school or high school, for which band has become a serious interest but the horn needs to stay affordable. Made in Elkhart, Indiana. "A traditional first choice for a serious student, laying the foundation in high school bands across the USA. As students develop musically, they will need an instrument that allows for greater response, tonal color, and dynamic range." I purchased this horn in 2013 for $1300.00 new. Adding the F attachment is the next step beyond the tenor trombone for adding diversity, quickness, jazz licks into the repertoire. The long reach to positions 6 and 7 are made easy with the trigger or F attachment. No dents, some lacquer wear, where the hands hold it and touch it as pictured. Well maintained. The instrument is ready to go with a complete cleaning, servicing, and truing/straightening the slide for slick movements. Service receipt provided. Blessing hard case included. No mouthpiece. .500” Bore 8” Bell Diameter Yellow Brass Small Shank Receiver Chrome Plated Nickel Silver Inner Slide Clear Lacquer Finish
