This is a nice condition pre-owned King 3B ‘Concert’ Tenor Trombone. The 3B is a straight Tenor, ideal for a wide variety of playing situations. It has been a popular choice for many players over the decades it's been in production. We're delighted to have this carefully maintained (and great sounding!) example in our pre-owned Trombone stock.
The King 3B features a .508 inch bore on both slides. The bore size coupled with the 8 inch yellow brass bell it makes for a very versatile instrument to play in a wide range of musical ensembles. The 3B has a slightly larger bore and bell than the smaller 2B instrument which is really more focussed on jazz players primarily.
This particular King 3B Concert model Trombone has been well cared for and the lacquer is in good condition throughout. The serial number would date this instrument in the late 1970's. Instruments in this period were made in Eastlake and feature ‘King Musical Instruments’ stamped on the bell along with the ‘3B Concert’ nomenclature.
Like all our pre-owned brass instruments this Trombone has been fully checked, set-up and serviced in our workshop prior to sale. During this process the slide is very carefully checked and set-up to ensure it's running optimally. The outfit is complete with a hard case and SL-J mouthpiece - both used but in good order. It also has a 6-month warranty like all our other pre-owned instruments.
