good playable

Up for sale is a Silver-plated and gold-leafed 1918 York and Sons Professional Tenor Trombone made in Grand Rapids Mich. The serial # is 510xx. The bell is beautifully engraved and has a gold washed inner bell. There are various small dings and pings throughout, with a slight wave of the bell rim.  There is some wear-through and pitting at the grips, neck brace, tuning crook and slide crook.  The slide action is good, especially for the age of the instrument.  There is mild wear-through of the silver-plate on the inner slides.  This instrument has the normal original bronze stockings of the period, which are in good shape with good compression.
The neck to slide connection is a friction-fit.
The horn comes with a used case and mouthpiece(may not be the one pictured).
The instrument is not lacquered; therefore, it may have to be polished periodically (we recommend using Weiman METAL Polish).
The slide bore is .468/.468, with 7" bell flare. This is a great horn in very nice condition and plays beautifully, with a silky smooth full tone.  It has good intonation, good power, and slots well. Thanks for looking and check out our other items!
