Hello! For sale is my King 3b valve trombone. I purchased this with the intentions of using it for some kind of fun project, but I have too many projects going on right now. The bell has had some work on it in the past. At some point, I believe the bell was buffed and relacquered. Whoever did it buffed the logo, so the original bell engraving is barely visible. Has lacquer wear and a few small dents. More pictures available on request. The horn still plays well. Included is a vintage Holton mouthpiece and the original case. More pictures available on request by PM or Email.

I’m asking $1400 OBO

The horn is located in Texas, local pickup or buyer pays shipping. PayPal F&F or add 3% for PayPal invoice. I can also have it professionally cleaned for an additional $75.

I thought so too at first, but the tube on the top right of the pic is the mouthpiece receiver. The threaded ring that holds it to the bell is visible below the tubing on the upper left.

Based on the water key it actually looks like a Getzen valve section. I have one just like it!
