Hi to all :hi:

I'm looking to buy a small bore trombone with f attachment. Something like Conn 50H, King 607 or Yamaha 356. But my budget is not big, about $250-300 :shuffle:

Delivery will be in CONUS.

If you have something, please let me know.

Thanks and Happy Holidays <EMOJI seq="1f384" tseq="1f384">🎄</EMOJI>

Take a look at this:

Thanks for the reference, Bruce, but my horns aren't in fully-working order. The Contempora's probably a little closer, but it'll still need some slide work and a valve lube. I'm strictly domestic US on shipping as well: went the overseas route once before, and the hassle was just too much.

I just checked out your location: if you're in Ukraine, it's going to be hard to find something for $250-300. You might, however, consider

which isn't too far outside your price range. King 607s pop up pretty often.

The seller is in Japan, so they're likely expecting to ship overseas anyhow.

If you can deal with a large-bore horn, there's likely a Blessing B88 or an Accord (Blessing stencil version) out there for about the same price.

I'll say this: unless the horn comes from a dealer and is advertised as being in perfect shape, you'll need to put in some money to have the slide aligned and valve adjusted. I've gotten lucky with online purchases before, but generally I have to put $100-$150 into every horn I buy from a private party.

I understand that, Jonh.

Delivery will be across the US.

Thank you for the comprehensive answer.

Valentyn.

Just saw this come up; thought of you!
