Small bore student model; LP refers to "low pitch" (A=435 Hz, but probably more-or-less ok at 440 with the tuning slide closed)

Thanks a lot!

How much would this trombone be worth (regardless of emotional value)?

I have said all that I know in the link that ithinknot has shown.

Basically, it is a pared down Besson Westminster/2-20. No counterweight and a cheap, trumpet style waterkey, you can see the small trumpet waterkey saddle in the picture which shows the replacement King waterkey.

Value can be quite variable from £50 to £150-£200 dependent on condition. They are too small for most players and don't have the cachet of a King 2B or a small bore Bach or a Yamaha Z.

Cheers
