I have a student that will be graduating this year and going off to college studying Music Ed. He's in the market for a bass trombone, but it seems like not much has come up in the last 4-6 months that fit within his budget.

They were hoping to stay around $2,000, and hopefully be under it. I was under the impressions that they'd be able to find a decent Yamaha, Conn or Bach in that price range, but we haven't seen anything. I haven't been scouring eBay like I normally do, but nothing good has popped up in the last couple of weeks.

If you're selling a bass trombone please let me know. I'm hoping to get this student into a decent double valve Bb/F/D horn. Independent or dependent, doesn't matter. He has mentioned that single valve bass would be cool too. But I'll let the student make that decision.

My 613H is my daily driver. Great horn in that price range that can work well for pretty much anyone. Eric might be your best bet here.
