$3,195 seems a little steep to me, even with it being in “like new”

condition. Unfortunately I am not in a position to see this one in person.

I had one. Basic pro horn. Might be a horn you want to try before you buy. Dependent.

Fair price? Depends on condition. If actually “like new”, probably in the ball park.

Well, unless there is an error with the DIllon Music website, someone else did not think it was overpriced. The used market for brass instruments is still pretty hot, and used bass trombones are pretty hard to come by. The YBL-620G is a solid dependent horn that works well in a variety of situations. It's more of a "band" or "commercial" instrument, but for someone looking for a good bass to broaden their range, its perfect.
