King 4BF Sonorous Vintage Trombone from the 70's to 80's. The bell section is in great condition with minor dents and dings but valve action is great. Tuning slides move very freely.
The actual slide however is in good vintage condition but isn't completely smooth and would be worth buying a new slide overseas (Hickeys Music is great and has a King 4B Slide Assembly for sale that should work with this model, would be around $1100USD) or you could ask members on here and find a nice used one for much cheaper. Positions 1-4 feel fine, but 5-7 make it difficult to make precise adjustments and is a quite sticky. Probably a 6/10 at most.
The bell section paired with a new slide would make a beautiful sounding and playing trombone for any skill level.
Silver Plate is good condition all over and no plate lose on the inner slide either.
The trombone is very flexible for a .547 bore trombone from it's time and seems to be more flexible than my Yamaha 882O.
Includes:
Original Case, decent condition.
Schilke 51C4 Mouthpiece Large shank
King 4BF
Trombone has been cleaned well and is better condition then when it arrived.
Please ask questions or place an offer. Can ship, and playing before buying is available.
Asking $1000USD. ($1600 NZD)
Only catch is I live in New Zealand and would prefer locally sold but could ship internationally (may be rather expensive.)
