Getting ready to move, clearing out horns that are more or less sitting in the closet; two gig worthy utility horns and one semi-project. Contact me via PM or email with questions and offers.

7 inch yellow brass bell, .485 bore bronze slide, in good overall shape. The slide action is decent but not stellar, needs deep cleaning and maybe a tune up. This horn plays with a fat, lush sound, upper register is great, it's dark until you push the volume, then gets focused. A thrift store find, asking what I paid for it.

7.5 inch yellow brass bell, .485 bore slide, in very good shape. The slide action is good, 100% gigable, I've used it on many outdoor and high risk gigs. This is a really nice playing small bore trombone, sound is clear and easy to manipulate, not as dark as the 24H above, but it's very comfortable and easy to play. Kind of the perfect utility bone.

7.5 inch Coprion bell, .485 bore slide, in decent shape. The slide action is not great, will definitely need a tune up.
The bell has a few dents, one notable one in the pics. This horn will need a bit of work to get it into shape for real playing, but despite all of that, it looks really cool and plays well, with a big, dark sound that brightens up a lot as you step on the gas.
