    WHY BUY A RESTORED VINTAGE INSTRUMENT OVER NEW?
    1.  UNMATCHED QUALITY IN DESIGN, CRAFTSMANSHIP AND METAL
    2.
    PRICED LESS THAN A NEW INSTRUMENT
    3.  IN MOST CASES IT WILL PLAY FAR BETTER THAN A NEW INSTRUMENT
    “THEY DON’T MAKE ‘EM LIKE THEY USED TO!!”
    YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT THE CRAFTSMANSHIP AND METAL USED
    IN A TRUE VINTAGE KING TROMBONE!
    Vintage King trombones far out perform the new ones.
    Here’s you chance to own a great looking and playing professional trombone
    for way less than the price of a new one.
    THIS IS A GREAT TROMBONE FOR JAZZ, SYMPHONY OR ALL-AROUND PLAYING!
    The guys that really knew how to build horns at the King Instrument Co. plant in Eastlake, OH crafted this fine trombone.
    INCLUDES A SMALL SHANK MOUTHPIECE AND A CASE
    This is not your standard used instrument.
    Restoration includes being
    completely taken apart, dents removed, carefully reassembled and a your choice of finishes applied.
    It will look and play great!
    The restoration is done by a respected local shop with over 40 years experience
    in woodwind and brass instrument restorations and repairs.
    Some of their employees worked at the Conn-Selmer and King factories in Elkhart, Ind. and Eastlake, Ohio.
    I have personally used this company for over 10 years for my adult band members and myself.
    I had this shop overhaul and silver plate my
    “baby” – a 1971 Besson professional euphonium and for me that’s like trusting someone to operate on your kid.
    (I’ve had the horn longer than my kids!)
    It really looks great and actually plays better than when I bought it new in college.
    THIS TROMBONE REALLY LOOKS AND PLAYS GREAT!!
    The King 3B trombone has an 8” yellow brass bell and a .508” bore
    and features nickel silver outer slide tubes for superior slide action.
    The slide is fast and smooth and has excellent compression
    The chrome plating on the inner slide tubes is in excellent condition
    The King 3B is a  professional trombone
    using a small shank mouthpiece.
    PUT THAT BACH OR CONN ON THE SHELF
    AND EXPERIENCE THE FANTASTIC TONE, RESPONSE AND SLIDE ACTION
    OF A GENUINE KING TROMBONE!!
    This could be the only trombone you need
    !
    It is an extremely versatile instrument.
    The King 3B is an outstanding all around trombone
    for solo and concert band or symphonic work.
    King trombones
    have long been
    the choice of professional trombone players from Tommy Dorsey
    in the 1940’s and 1950's to legendary trombonists Urbie Green, Kai Winding, JJ Johnson and
    present day artists like Jiggs Whigham
    .
    AN OUTSTANDING PROFESSIONAL TROMBONE!!
    DON’T LET THIS ONE GET AWAY!!!

    This trombone is guaranteed to be as described.
    I take great care to make sure you are receiving a good quality instrument and to describe it accurately.
    If something's not right - I'll make it right.
    The pictures tell the story.
    I personally play everything I sell, so there’s nothing to worry about
    .
    I’m a band director and professional musician playing tuba to trumpet and everything in between.
    If I wouldn’t have it in my house, I won’t send it to yours!
    I’ve just collected too many instruments and other "horn stuff", between the community band that I direct (plus 3 others I play in – yes, I’m a little crazy!) and 2 kids that played in band in school.
    It’s time to “thin the herd”, so I’ll be listing some more instruments and “horn stuff” soon.
    UPDATE:
    Thanks to all who have bought “stuff from my closet”
    .
    This has gone so well, that I’ve opened an Ebay store and will be looking for nice items (mostly band instruments and “horn stuff”) to offer for sale on Ebay as well as selling for band members and friends.
    If there is something you’d like, just email me with your request and I’ll try to find it for you.
    UPDATED UPDATE:
    MANY THANKS TO ALL MY PAST CUSTOMERS!
    I'm now starting my 14th year on eBay with sales to 30 countries and all 50 states, and great positive feedback!  Thanks to all of you, I've achieved some of eBay's top ratings, plus a lot of great horns have been rescued and are now enjoying a new life all around the world.
    THANKS AND ENJOY YOUR "NEW" REFURBISHED MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS!

    This item is also for sale locally.
    I will have to end the auction early if it sells locally, so grab it with "BUY IT NOW!".
