Some bass trombones for sale.

1. Conn 70H from 1937. This horn is in great shape for an 80+ year old horn! I know there were several variants of the 70H. This one has a straight .562 slide. Not dual-bore. Tuning-in-slide works nicely and the horn is super responsive. And sounds great. Slide action is quite good. Not great like a Shires slide, for example, but respectable. It has been and can be played in professional settings as it is. Replacing the inners could bring it to the next level. $1500 or BO. **SOLD**

2. King Duo Gravis from 1977-78. Well, this one hurts. Of the 6 or 7 examples of the Duo Gravis I have owned, this is the best one. Fantastic player. Eric Edwards split the triggers and tuned up the horn. Handslide, tuning slides, and valves are all excellent. Horn plays like a dream. Original case is excellent. $2000 + shipping. **SOLD**

3. Yamaha 612R. A lightly-played dependent bass trombone from Yamaha. Great player! Eric Edwards split the triggers, leaving the original first valve lever in place. Ergonomics are great. Horn has the factory D slide. Valves are brilliant and the horn has one of the most accessible trigger ranges. So nice and easy. Handslide is perfect and all tuning slides are excellent. Comes in a new-ish Eastmant fiberglass case. $1700 + shipping **SALE PENDING**

Yes, factory D extension. I think I remember it also having an Eb extension. I will look for it.
